The gloves are off, at least on the part of Bitcoin Core, as the fight over the future of the bitcoin cryptocurrency continues.

If you haven’t heard, there is a debate raging over bitcoin’s underlying blockchain technology’s current 1MB block size limit. A number of camps, including Bitcoin Unlimited, believe the block size should be scaled upward to alleviate congestion on the network, but the other side—aka Bitcoin Core—insists that the blockchain’s original design is doing fine in its current form.

Core knows best?

According to Core developer Luke-Jr, the 1MB limit is already far too large for today’s blockchain use, given that all legitimate uses of the blockchain currency “amount to approximately 750k/block average.”
