Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain): Michael Saylor Opposes Bitcoin Consensus Changes, Advocates for a Simple and Neutral Base Layer

Michael Saylor Opposes Bitcoin Consensus Changes, Advocates for a Simple and Neutral Base Layer Strategy founder Michael Saylor said Bitcoin’s biggest threat comes from internal factions rewriting consensus rules and seizing economic rights. He compared Bitcoin’s consensus rules to a constitution and opposed proposals including BIP-110, additional covenant machinery, and larger blocks, arguing they could weaken transaction freedom, blockspace scarcity, and network security while increasing validation costs and attack surfaces. Saylor said as the block subsidy halves every 210,000 blocks, miners will rely more on fees to secure Bitcoin, and weakening the fee market could threaten long-term security. He called for keeping Bitcoin’s base layer simple, neutral, scarce, and secure, with innovation built at the edges, and protocol changes made only when necessary and conservatively.
