You can't have it all. If Bitcoin is money (which I believe it is), then we need to pay the price to keep it alive. There is no free lunch.

How does opening up the op_return filter keep bitcoin alive?

Why does the Dust limit filter work so well?

IMO- If you want to change your -datacarriersize to 100k then go ahead and do that. But changing network defaults without broad agreement and in the face of massive backlash is irresponsible.

Trust in core devs is at an all time low, I wonder what is the technical explanation for that.

Why does the Dust limit filter work so well?

Because this filters is aligned with the actual logic the miners use to decide "What to include in the block".

This is not true. I am of the opinion that in the long run increasing/unlimiting op_return is good for Bitcoin.

Do I think that right now at this time exactly is the best, most perfect, absolte time? Maybe not.

But in the long run absolutely. We need to educate people as much as possible about the value of self-custody and using Bitcoin because fees are the greatest filter we have ever had.

Name a point in Bitcoin history when the sentiment against the core team was worse.
