Core Developer Suggests Censorship to Fix Bitcoin Network Congestion

in #bitcoinlast year

Bitcoin network congestion has been a recurring problem for the cryptocurrency market, causing frustration among users and developers alike. Recently, Core developer Ali Sherief suggested a drastic solution to fix the issue: introducing a runtime option to immediately delete all non-standard Taproot transactions.

However, this proposal has sparked controversy among the community, with some seeing it as a form of censorship.

Sherief’s proposal has divided the Bitcoin community, with some developers supporting the idea as a temporary fix to ease the network congestion. However, others see it as a dangerous precedent that could undermine the decentralized nature of the cryptocurrency.
