## Resource

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. Key Topics: • Plan B Lugano + the rise of Cypher Tank • Is Bitcoin Core compromised? • Bitcoin spam vs censorship: where’s the line? • Core v30 vs Knots: what’s really happening? • Why Giacomo thinks BIP-110 will fail • Would BIP-110 actually fix Bitcoin spam? • Ordinals and inscriptions • Should Bitcoin change consensus rules to fight spam? • Why Giacomo believes Layer 2s—not forks—solve the problem • What happens to Bitcoin if BIP-110 fails?
