I dont know luke or his motives. I’m just a dude who runs nodes, stacks sats and cares deeply about sound money for my kids and eventual grandkids. My dive on this indicates that a byproduct of his proposed changes…or reversions to legacy btc if you will, make it easier for node runners to spin up nodes around the globe….making node centralization less likely. If that makes him a statist ….🤷‍♂️ . Bitcoin was always rules, not rulers. If you dont want rules at all you’re advocating some sort of protocol relativism…maybe one day the 21M cap becomes inconvenient to you, so that rule should be tossed too? The node runners will vote. Name calling and accusing influencers and developers of misaligned incentives is useless and impossible. The ethos and rules of bitcoins future is up to the nodes.

Bip-110 will pollute the utxo set. Nodes being run by plebs is less about hard drive space which large op returns bloat and more about ram which multiple spam transactions bloat. A pleb who can’t run a node because their disk is full can at least run a pruned node, one who has to upgrade entirely because of lack of ram is screwed. Luke has expressed his views on state authority. Anyone running his software should be aware of them. The fact that this proposal is presented as an emergency is clearly bullshit and should make any normal person skeptical.
