Michael Saylor opposes Bitcoin BIP-110 as dispute grows over Ordinal controls
Michael Saylor has publicly opposed BIP-110, a proposal to limit non-monetary transactions on the Bitcoin network. The dispute centres on how much to restrict Ordinal records and other arbitrary data. Saylor said he respects developers who support the plan but does not agree with the solution, urging neutral rules and permissionless innovation. Supporters call Ordinals-driven blockchain bloat a serious threat. Activation would require 55 percent node support for one block period, while recent support has been low.

Bitcoin \'BIP-110\' debate intensifies as developer-miner clash spreads
A dispute over Bitcoin consensus-rule change proposal BIP-110 is escalating among developers, miners, companies and users. The proposal would temporarily limit several ways of embedding non-financial data in Bitcoin transactions, including tighter size limits for transaction outputs and OP_RETURN. Supporters say it could curb blockchain spam and strengthen Bitcoin’s role as money. Opponents warn it could invalidate some fee-paying transactions and set a risky precedent for future protocol changes.

Saylor, Adam Back oppose Bitcoin BIP-110, warn changing consensus is riskier
Michael Saylor and Adam Back have publicly opposed adopting Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110, saying it could harm core principles of the Bitcoin network, U.Today reported on Saturday. BIP-110 would treat arbitrary data, digital artefacts and tokens as spam and filter related transactions at the protocol level. Critics warn some currently valid, fee-paying transactions could be invalidated. Saylor said setting such a precedent is dangerous, and Back warned pushing it without broad agreement could split the network.
