What this episode covers
Jameson Lopp joins Robert Breedlove to break down the Core vs Knots debate, the parallels to the Blocksize Wars, and who decides what counts as spam on Bitcoin. They discuss raising the OP_Return limit, the need for increased blockspace demand, and whether Core vs Knots is a coordinated attack on the Bitcoin network. Lopp also shares his take on Ethereum’s value proposition, Bitcoin’s antifragility, and his existential fear for Bitcoin’s future. Jameson Lopp is a co-founder and Chief Security Officer at Casa.
