According to a ChainCatcher report, Blockstream CEO Adam Back has come out against BIP-110 supporters, dismissing the idea that Bitcoin supports spam as incorrect. He said all Bitcoin participants dislike spam on the network. Back argued that Bitcoin cannot achieve absolute censorship at the mathematical level, and that the BIP-110 proposal has multiple flaws, cannot run effectively, and has not gained network consensus. Back also stressed that forcing rule changes without consensus could end in a fork similar to Bitcoin SV (BSV). The controversy around BIP-110 dates back to its plan to restrict non-financial data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain. Supporters of the proposal wanted to implement it through a user-activated soft fork (UASF). Miner support at the current stage is still far from the threshold needed for activation. Market participants are now watching to see whether the dispute turns into a wider governance split in the Bitcoin network.

BIP-110 previously triggered community controversy because it sought to restrict non-financial data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain. Its supporters planned to drive the rule change through a user-activated soft fork (UASF). Miner support, however, remains far from the activation requirement. The market is watching whether the dispute will turn into a governance split in Bitcoin's network.
