The Bitcoin developer community is actively working on new proposals to expand the network's capabilities.

One such proposal is OP_CAT, which aims to increase Bitcoin's utility by allowing users to combine data within transactions.

While some developers believe OP_CAT could significantly improve Bitcoin, others argue that its benefits are exaggerated and could introduce potential risks like increased MEV.

What do you think?
