There is a difference between policing the data and welcoming spammers by:

- providing official' support for large quantities of spam.
- refusing to fix the bug which enabled inscriptions

No one is claiming all spam can be stopped but deliberately removing friction for spammers is not a good idea for the long term health of the network. If spammers know that the network is hostile to them and there is a chance they will get rugged at some point in the future then that's a huge deterrent to VCs funding large scale spammers.

Governments cannot ban Bitcoin anymore than they can ban mathematics or fire. The genie is out of the bottle. 🛡️ 🛡️

So labeling transactions as financial magically makes them moral and legal? Never mind you would never know unless you used special tools to tell the difference

Maybe a better way to put it is, it's a gradient of more spam-like or less spam-like transactions and custodians and layer 2s are effectively subsidising more spam-like transactions if used when not necessary, based on current fees. Just seems like we don't need to change Bitcoin we need to actuall...

That's nonsense. I can confirm as someone that actually runs a node that bandwidth and CPU usage are considerably less running a knots node than it was with core. What you are arguing is nodes should just follow miners. That's the wrong way around, miners work for the network, nodes signal what we want to see in the network. I will filter my mempool how I want not how compromised core devs paymasters want me to.

Thats not stealing my friend... if they where stealing... the node would be gone ;-) You need to work on your arguments, because this for sure does not hrlp your story.

Give up friend, some people are not capable to get it.

It was a 37% selfish mining attack. It was not a 51% attack. Bitcoin is susceptible to the same attack as are all proof of work chains. The selfish mining attack just resulted in non consensus damaging reorganizations. Stop reading FUD headlines and do your research.
