Not demonizing - making jokes about it. It's a bad solution and not worth forking over. If we find a real solution to spam then I'm down to fork

It’s not cool to make fun of the plebs who are trying to prevent Bitcoin becoming a shitshow, and I’m getting tired of the Bitcoin LARPers who are anti BIP-110 without reading the BIP or because they don’t like Luke or because it’s not going to perfectly stop spam. It’s not perfect but at least it’s a step in the right direction that buys us a year to devise better solutions. You don’t need to like Luke - just review what the code changes actually do.

The propaganda from Core is that fees paid to miners will fix this, and stopping non-financial data is “censorship”. Engage your brain for a minute and consider why node running (which is unpaid) wouldn’t become centralized as costs and legal risks increase as a result of spam. Also - it’s objectively not “censorship” to mitigate non-financial data. It doesn’t limit or censor financial transactions, just spam.

Then consider who pays the influencers and why they’re anti BIP-110. It’s sooo disappointing to see Bitcoiners seriously believing influencers who are paid by shit-coiners, suit-coiners and VCs.

How does one decide what is financial data? Who is going to make that decision? Also, the average block size did not really pass the 2MB limit, so one can argue about the real impact ordinals have other then paying miners and keeping the network save. https://blossom.rikmeijer.nl/00b910056bedd17f...
