At this weekend’s meeting, developer Luke Dashjr failed to gain enough support for his proposal to end congestion on the Bitcoin network, with the extreme decision to completely remove Ordinals/Inscription/BRC -20.

Core developer Ava Chow summed up the proposal:

There appears to be controversy over this activity. In the current climate, there is no prospect of the proposal being accepted. I see no reason to continue discussing this.

Luke Dashjr, a maintainer of Bitcoin Core and a well-known figure in the development community, not long ago proposed a solution to “filter junk transactions,” claiming that Ordinals was doing “spam “The network and all are just a form of fraud. He expects that the v27 patch will end this situation in 2024.

Developer Luke said the spam filtering feature was actually built into Bitcoin Core from the start, but the development team did not integrate it into Taproot, which resulted in this being just a “bugfix” (fix system error), and should have been addressed months before the BRC-20 appeared.

Not to say it was necessary, Luke Dashjr’s bold statement was met with countless controversies. While the developer’s stance stems from concerns about the integrity of the Bitcoin network, it creates a contradiction with the original decentralized nature of the blockchain.
