According to @Excellion on X (formerly Twitter), the payment for submitting the Bitcoin OP_RETURN pull request was actually made in 2023, not this year, with @darosior executing the submission to credit Peter Todd as motivation (Source: x.com/Excellion, x.com/darosior). This clarification is important for traders monitoring Bitcoin network development, as OP_RETURN changes influence transaction transparency and data embedding on the blockchain, potentially affecting on-chain analytics and related altcoin projects.

According to trevor.btc on Twitter, the Vice President of Engineering at Ocean Mining is reportedly mobilizing the Bitcoin maximalist community to upvote his stance and downvote comments by @peterktodd, aiming to sway the outcome of a key pull request (PR) related to Bitcoin Ordinals. This coordinated campaign on social platforms highlights the increasing impact of community sentiment and social voting on Bitcoin protocol development, which could trigger rapid sentiment shifts and volatility in Ordinals-related assets if the PR is affected (source: @TO, Twitter, April 29, 2025). Traders should monitor Bitcoin developer forums and Ordinals asset prices closely for potential market movements stemming from this dispute.

According to BitMEX Research, there is skepticism about Bitcoin reaching a $100,000 price target and attracting $35 billion in ETF inflows within a year. The tweet questions the feasibility of such growth, especially under a pro-Bitcoin president, while major financial entities like Blackrock and JP Morgan, along with influential figures like Ava Chow, Greg Maxwell, and Peter Todd, hold significant sway.
