According to a joint statement published on June 6, 2025, 31 Bitcoin Core developers have clearly take a clear position on how the network should handle non -financial use. They emphasized that their role does not support or block data inscriptions and other non -relaxation activities.
This movement has created a strong feeling of the entire community due to discussions on freedom, fees and the purpose of Bitcoin.
Developer posture on data policy
Based on the report, the core team said that “harmless” data will not stop entering the blockchain. They pointed out that the main strength of Bitcoin is a resistance to censorship. Therefore, all user -centered software choices must be able to withstand.

They made it ordinary: It depends on the node operator to choose what they have accepted. This approach aims to keep the network freely even if it means to have additional data.
Community voices are divided
Following the statement, the reaction was poured out. Samson MOW, CEO of JAN3, was called the developer’s Tone Hollow, and the recent change said that “I opened a floodgate.” He insisted that removing technical barriers encourages unwanted data.
Bitcoin Core Dev has been gradually changing the network to activate spam and now focuses on removing the barrier of spammer. It is unpleasant to say, “It’s too bad now.”
This statement itself is also inappropriate. It feels like NYA of Core Devs. https://t.co/aciqyvk12f

On the other hand, CASA’s Jameson Lopp praised a clear explanation of the relay rules. LOPP pointed out that the unified voice of the developer helps to reduce the past confusion over policy.
Recent upgrade spark worries
On May 8, 2025, core developers have eliminated long -term restrictions on transaction data size. This adjustment allows anyone to include more information in the transaction. Critics worry that this will swell and increase the fee.
Supports say that miners predict what they will include and convey the information together is the key to operating Bitcoin smoothly. They help both miners and users, even if this neutral relay policy is not purchased by everyone.
Future fork and tier solution
In the future, some people think that the new fork can share a “pure money” chain that blocks data inscriptions. Others expect a Layer-2 network or side chain that takes heavy lifting for art, messaging and other purposes.
Either way, I agree that wallets and node software will soon provide options. One is for people who are clean and for financial transactions and those who don’t care about additional data. This selection allows users to depend on the developer and vote in the settings to make a call.
