According to BlockBeats, on July 19, Strategy founder Michael Saylor published an article stating that he opposes BIP-110, believing that the proposal attempts to restrict the use of transactions that are currently valid and for which fees are being paid through consensus rules, which may escalate the controversy over uses such as data storage to protocol-level rules.

BIP-110 plans to add seven consensus restrictions within its approximately one-year validity period, including limiting the length of public keys for new scripts, the size of some push data and witness items, and disabling some Taproot extension paths.

He listed 110 reasons for opposing BIP-110. He opposed the proposal's use of a 55% miner signal threshold, arguing that it was significantly lower than BIP-9's 95% standard, and that the removal of regular timeouts and FAILED status could increase coordination errors, chain splits, and market uncertainty.

Saylor believes that tools such as block space fees, node forwarding policies, miner strategies, pruning, and Layer 2 can address related issues without altering consensus. He emphasizes that even if the rules are only temporarily effective, the governance precedents established may persist for a long time, therefore "the proposed governance solutions are more dangerous than the problems themselves."

According to BlockBeats, on July 19th, Onchain Lens monitoring revealed that over eight years ago, when Bitcoin's price was around $18,300, a whale acquired 852.469 BTC for approximately $15.63 million. Subsequently, this whale gradually dispersed these BTC into multiple newly created wallets, while also transferring some tokens to trading platforms. Currently, this whale has transferred another 583.23 BTC (approximately $37.57 million) into a newly created wallet.

According to BlockBeats, on July 19th, ARK Invest, the investment management company of Cathie Wood, disclosed on July 17th that it purchased $18.3 million worth of SpaceX (SPCX.O) shares after the stock price fell below its IPO price on Friday. ARK Invest's four actively managed ETFs collectively purchased 147,623 shares. The stock closed at $123.99 that day, having touched a low of $122.12 during the session. This purchase appears more like a determined increase in holdings during a period of price weakness than a hedging operation, as it further expands ARK's already substantial position.

Data tracking ARK's holdings shows that in the week ending July 10, the company, through its ARKK, ARKQ, ARKW, and ARKX funds, collectively purchased approximately $52.1 million worth of related stocks, bringing ARK's total investment since SpaceX's IPO in June to over $475 million. This indicates that Cathie Wood's team has consistently viewed every dip as a buying opportunity, rather than a warning sign. (Jinshi)
