> we are implicitly conceding that miner greed + economic incentives are the ultimate rule-setter, not node-enforced principles Perhaps @hodlonaut should read chapter 4 of "The Blocksize War". Despite what some people want, Bitcoin nodes do not enforce "principles", "visions" or "economic changes". Nodes only enforce the literal technical rules on block validity. The literal technical rules enforce a 1MB OP_Return limit. That is what nodes enforce, nothing more and nothing less. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blocksize-War-controls-Bitcoins-protocol/dp/B08YQMC2WM/(BitMEX Research)
