BlockBeats News, July 12th, Blockstream CEO Adam Back and Strategy founder Michael Saylor successively expressed their opposition to the BIP 110 proposal.

Adam Back stated that the essence of BIP 110 is an attempt to use a consensus layer to constrain the behavior of others, which goes against the decentralized and permissionless core attributes of Bitcoin. The technical consensus mechanism of Bitcoin itself is an efficient immune system, and any change not rigorously proven by hundreds of developers cannot be implemented. He called on BIP 110 supporters to deeply understand the operational logic of Bitcoin, rather than creating a fork.

In contrast, Michael Saylor mentioned that BIP 110 would escalate a debate over spam into a consensus change that could potentially invalidate some currently valid transactions, and that this precedent itself is the real risk.

BIP 110 is a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal aimed at filtering or restricting specific types of on-chain data embedded in transactions (such as OP_RETURN outputs) by modifying the default relay policy. Its supporters believe that this will help curb the proliferation of on-chain spam.
