Bitcoin bulls Michael Saylor, Adam Back slam BIP-110 Ordinals proposal
Summary
Michael Saylor and Adam Back strongly oppose BIP-110, a proposed temporary Bitcoin fork meant to limit non-monetary data like Ordinals inscriptions. Supporters say it would reduce network “spam” and protect Bitcoin’s cash-use focus, but Saylor and Back argue a fork could damage Bitcoin’s credibility and possibly invalidate ordinary transactions. Back called it an attempt to “police other people” and said it conflicts with Bitcoin’s permissionless, decentralized ethos. BIP-110 remains unlikely to pass, since it would need 55% node support and recently had only about 1% support in a validation period. The dispute echoes earlier Bitcoin scaling conflicts, though current Ordinals activity is far below its 2023 peak.
