According to market news, the Bitcoin network has seen the first block supporting the BIP-110 proposal, mined by the Ocean pool. This proposal aims to limit arbitrary non-financial data in blockchain transactions through a temporary soft fork over approximately one year. Supporters believe this can curb "junk" data that occupies block space, protect Bitcoin's role as a robust monetary infrastructure, and alleviate the burden on node operators. The proposal has sparked intense controversy within the community.

Critics, including Blockstream CEO Adam Back, warn that intervention at the consensus layer could undermine Bitcoin's credibility, lead to discriminatory treatment of transactions, and violate the principle of transaction capacity neutrality. He also questioned the actual support for the proposal, stating it could increase the risk of blockchain splits.

The controversy escalated further when a developer embedded a 66KB image in a Bitcoin transaction to oppose the core claim of BIP-110, demonstrating that a large amount of data can be encoded even without relying on OP_RETURN. This debate highlights the long-standing ideological divide within the Bitcoin community: whether to staunchly defend Bitcoin's pure positioning as a currency or to maintain maximum neutrality regarding arbitrary uses at the base layer.
