The Data Behind the BIP-110 Fight | Renaud Cuny | BIS #208

Renaud Cuny joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about measuring the monetary health of the Bitcoin network through hard data, from the percentage of block space consumed by spam to the concentration of mining pools and hardware manufacturers. He walks through his Bitcoin Portal project, which scores decentralization and security across mining, block space, and node diversity, and explains why direction matters more than any single number. The conversation digs into BIP-110, the OP_RETURN debate, Bitcoin Knots adoption, hash renting through Ocean and Datum, and what self-custody and node-running mean for keeping Bitcoin sound money.
