Bitcoin Spam is Bad. So is BIP-110 | Giacomo Zucco

<p>Giacomo Zucco joins Walker America to discuss Bitcoin spam, ordinals, inscriptions, Bitcoin Core, Core v30 / OP_RETURN, Knots, and why he thinks the BIP-110 soft fork will fail—and why that’s a problem. They break down the technical and political fight over spam filtering, consensus changes, and the future of Bitcoin nodes. Zucco argues that while spam is real, BIP-110 is the wrong solution—and its failure could damage the movement trying to fight it.</p> <p><strong>Key Topics:</strong></p> <p>• Plan B Lugano + the rise of Cypher Tank</p> <p>• Is Bitcoin Core compromised?</p> <p>• Bitcoin spam vs censorship: where’s the line?</p> <p>• Core v30 vs Knots: what’s really happening?</p> <p>• Why Giacomo thinks BIP-110 will fail</p> <p>• Would BIP-110 actually fix Bitcoin spam?</p> <p>• Ordinals and inscriptions</p> <p>• Should Bitcoin change consensus rules to fight spam?</p> <p>• Why Giacomo believes Layer 2s—not forks—solve the problem</p> <p>• What happens to Bitcoin if BIP-110 fails?</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW GIACOMO:</strong> </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/giacomozucco">https://x.com/giacomozucco</a></p> <p>Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/giacomozucco">https://primal.net/giacomozucco</a></p> <p>PlanB: <a href="https://planb.network/">https://planb.network/</a></p> <p>Cypher Tank: <a href="https://cyphertank.org/">https://cyphertank.org/</a></p> <p><strong>PARTNERS & DISCOUNTS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>LEDN</strong>: Bitcoin-backed lending.
