In a recent social media post that surely sent shockwaves through the crypto-sphere (or at least caused a few raised eyebrows), Michael Saylor, the ever-eloquent CEO of Strategy, declared protocol mutability-particularly the relentless pursuit of shiny new features-as the “greatest risk” to Bitcoin. One might wonder if he’s referring to Bitcoin or a particularly unstable soufflé.
The post, dripping with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, suggested that “ambitious opportunists advocating protocol changes” could jeopardize Bitcoin’s crown jewel: its immutability. Ah, yes, because nothing says “trustless” like a bunch of developers arguing over GitHub commits.
The Great Bitcoin Civil War (Or Just Another Tuesday)
Saylor, never one to shy away from controversy, took direct aim at what he deems “activist” Bitcoiners-those pesky idealists who believe Bitcoin should, you know, evolve. His ire seems particularly directed at proposals like BIP110, which seeks to limit arbitrary data storage-because clearly, the blockchain was meant to be pristine, untouched by JPEGs of bored apes.
BIP110, authored by the pseudonymous Dathon Ohm (a name that sounds suspiciously like a rejected Star Trek character), has been embraced by roughly 2% of Bitcoin nodes. A resounding mandate, if ever there was one.
The feud reached peak absurdity in 2024-2025 when MicroStrategy unveiled “MicroStrategy Orange,” a decentralized identity protocol built atop Bitcoin using Inscriptions. Saylor, ever the libertarian, defended the right to inscribe anything-so long as fees were paid-while Luke Dashjr, Bitcoin’s self-appointed hall monitor, labeled it an “attack.” Truly, the drama writes itself.
“Nobody in the Knots/BIP-110 camp is an opportunist,” wrote one Dashjr supporter, presumably with a straight face. “We just want to keep our savings safe.” Because nothing says “financial security” like a blockchain that refuses to acknowledge JPEGs.
Meanwhile, Adam Simecka, founder of Manna, chimed in with the wisdom of a man who has seen one too many hard forks: “Stop changing Bitcoin. It isn’t broken.” A radical notion-unless, of course, you enjoy progress.
