Saylor Lists 110 Reasons to Oppose BIP 110, and Bitcoin’s “Soul Defense War” Is Underway


Michael Saylor just did something very “Saylor.”
The BIP 110 proposal aims to restrict inscriptions and non-financial data storage on Bitcoin through consensus rules. Sounds pretty reasonable, right? “Bitcoin should only be used for transfers.”
Saylor simply threw out 110 reasons to object.
His core point can be summed up in a single sentence: “Bitcoin doesn’t need guardians of purity; it needs guardians of neutrality.”
Translated: Bitcoin’s underlying layer should act like a neutral conduit that doesn’t judge any use. You think inscriptions are trash? No problem—let the market decide. Targeting specific use cases with consensus rules is opening a dangerous loophole—today it limits inscriptions, tomorrow it can limit something else.
This isn’t just a technical debate—it’s a fundamental disagreement over whether Bitcoin should have “values-based censorship.” One side says: Bitcoin should be clean, simple, and do one thing only. The other side says: Bitcoin’s power is precisely that it doesn’t make decisions for you. Interestingly, BIP 110 requires 55% miner support to pass, and its current approval rate is close to zero. But the DOG Mode client has already announced it will bypass this restriction. Every time Bitcoin’s community has an internal war, it ends up making it stronger.
Or is this time different?
