Bitcoin Core v30: innovation or déjà vu?
Major upgrade brings privacy boosts — and big controversy.
The new $BTC Core v30 just dropped, and mon dieu… it’s stirring the pot 🌀 The update adds optional encrypted peer connections for better privacy (finally!), plus expands the OP_RETURN limit from 80 bytes to a jaw-dropping 100,000 bytes. That means much more non-financial data — images, metadata, even apps — baked right into Bitcoin transactions.
But not everyone’s raising a glass. Purists argue Bitcoin should stay sound money, not a playground for on-chain art and files. Others fear legal risks or network bloat. Meanwhile, innovators see it as a door opening toward richer use cases — maybe even closing the gap with $ETH in flexibility.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a protocol change, but the vibes are giving 2017 flashbacks. Remember the block size war that birthed Bitcoin Cash? History doesn’t repeat, but it sure likes to rhyme… 😏
