In this episode of The Bitcoin Way podcast, Kyle and Bert break down the technical implications of BIP-110 and analyze why this consensus change is so controversial. From the history of OP_RETURN limits to the potential risks of a chain split, this deep dive provides the clarity you need to navigate the current Bitcoin node landscape. If you are struggling to decide which node implementation is right for you, or if you simply want to understand the consensus rules governing Bitcoin nodes today, this conversation is essential listening. Running a Bitcoin node is the ultimate act of sovereignty, but it requires understanding the rules you are enforcing. We explore the seven consensus restrictions proposed in BIP-110, the risks of single-maintainer governance, and why individual node operators remain the final line of defense against network changes. Verify, don't trust. Want to run your own node but don't know where to start?
