Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor and Blockstream CEO Adam Back have doubled down on their opposition to BIP-110, a proposed temporary fork to limit non-monetary transactions on the Bitcoin network.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin Improvement Proposal-110 was introduced in December 2025 to stop nonfungible token-like Ordinals inscriptions and other arbitrary data from \u201cspamming\u201d the network and to preserve Bitcoin\u2019s main use as a peer-to-peer cash system.<\/p>\n
While critical of Ordinals activity, Saylor and Back fear a fork could do more harm than good<\/a> to the network\u2019s credibility. \u201cThere are 110 things more dangerous to Bitcoin than spam,\u201d Saylor said in a post<\/a> to X on Saturday, adding that BIP-110 could invalidate ordinary transactions on the network.<\/p>\n Source: <\/em>Michael Saylor<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n BIP-110 is one of the more notable protocol-level disputes in the Bitcoin development community since the Blocksize Wars between 2015 and 2017, when ecosystem participants debated whether it was worth risking a chain split to raise the block size limit for scalability.\u00a0<\/p>\n BIP-110 was introduced by pseudonymous Bitcoin developer \u201cDathon Ohm\u201d with the support of Ocean protocol founder Luke Dashjr.\u00a0<\/p>\n BIP-110 won’t be activated unless 55% of Bitcoin nodes validating blocks are in support of the proposal across a Bitcoin block \u201cperiod.\u201d<\/p>\n In the last period, period number 475 between block 955,584 and 957,599, only 1% of blocks were BIP-110-supportive.<\/p>\n The dispute comes at a time when Ordinals activity is at near all-time lows, with fewer than 10,000 <\/a>Ordinals inscribed into the Bitcoin blockchain on a daily basis over the last month, down massively from the more than 400,000 seen during its peak in August 2023.<\/p>\n Change in daily Ordinals inscriptions since December 2022.
