The OP_RETURN Flame War (w/ Adam Back & ArbedOut)

Adam Back and ArbedOut take the stage at PubKey NYC with host Thomas Pacchia to discuss the brewing tensions between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots. Could we be heading toward a fork? Plus:

How the OP_RETURN “flame war” revives a decade-old argument over spam, censorship, and Bitcoin’s purpose
Why ArbedOut is choosing to steelman Bitcoin Knots and its alleged ability to filter "spam" transactions
Why it's crucial to understand the difference between policy and consensus when it comes to BIPs
The forgotten history of XT, Classic, Unlimited, and other Bitcoin forks (and what those client wars reveal about today’s split)
Adam Back’s firsthand account of why OP_RETURN existed in the first place—did lazy developers force its creation?
