According to Samson Mow (@Excellion), the discussion around using filters to block spam transactions on the Bitcoin network, particularly those employing OP_RETURN, is more ideological than technical. Mow emphasizes that filters cannot guarantee complete spam prevention and that spammers may not necessarily rely on OP_RETURN. This ongoing debate signals uncertainty for traders regarding future transaction throughput and fee dynamics, as any changes to Bitcoin network filtering could affect mempool congestion and transaction costs. Traders should monitor developments closely as shifts in network policy or consensus could significantly impact on-chain activity and related crypto asset prices (source: Twitter/@Excellion, May 6, 2025).
