The removal of the OP_RETURN size limit in Bitcoin Core 30, effective October 30, 2025, marks a significant shift in Bitcoin’s technical and philosophical landscape. By allowing up to 4 megabytes of data per OP_RETURN output, the update aligns the protocol with existing practices like Ordinals and inscriptions, reducing UTXO bloat and enhancing flexibility for non-financial applications such as cross-chain bridges and document archiving. Proponents, led by Peter Todd, argue that this change supports Bitcoin’s decentralization by discouraging private blockspace markets and preserving efficient block propagation. However, critics, including prominent Bitcoiners, warn of potential spam, higher costs, and a deviation from Bitcoin’s core monetary purpose. The decision has already sparked community division, with Bitcoin Core’s node share dropping to 88% and alternative clients like Bitcoin Knots gaining traction. As the network adapts, the community will closely monitor performance impacts and ongoing debates about Bitcoin’s identity as either a financial system or a broader data ledger.

This sentence can be confusing:
"For maximum anonymity and simplicity chooses simplex chat, especially for one-on-one or small group cats with no metadata and no id."
This is not at all what I meant. For a simplicity of use and reinforced confidentiality Simplex is ideal especially for small trusted groups and with remembering to use the incognito mode to protect yourself more in a public group.
For maximum anonymity and White Noise metadata protection is more suitable, especially if it is combined with "TOR"
