Bitcoin update to raise data limit on divisive OP_RETURN function ⚙️

Bitcoin Core developer Gloria Zhao announced that the data limit for the controversial OP_RETURN function will be raised in October. This decision has sparked frustration among many Bitcoin users who prefer that images, text, and audio remain separate from the blockchain. The OP_RETURN function has been a point of contention as it allows arbitrarily large amounts of data to be stored in Bitcoin transactions.

This update is expected to alter how users interact with the blockchain, and the change may lead to further discussions on the future uses of Bitcoin technology, especially concerning data storage and transmission.
