Michael Saylor came out against BIP 110 this week, warning that filtering Ordinals-style transactions would politicize Bitcoin's consensus rules. The proposal, which would block certain transaction types, has drawn zero support from miners.
Why Saylor objects
Saylor argued that introducing content-based filtering into Bitcoin's protocol sets a dangerous precedent. He said it would turn consensus decisions into political battles, undermining the network's neutrality. The warning comes as Ordinals-based inscriptions have sparked debate over Bitcoin's use as a data layer.
Zero miner backing
Despite the controversy around Ordinals, miners have shown no appetite for BIP 110. Public signaling puts miner support at 0%. Without hash power behind it, the proposal has no path to activation under Bitcoin's rough consensus model.
BIP 110 appears dead on arrival. The question now is whether alternative approaches to managing Ordinals traffic will emerge, or if the market will simply adapt to the current state of the network.
