You can’t have it both ways. If #Bitcoin transactions are cheap, then they’re cheap for your enemies. If Bitcoin transactions are expensive, they’re expensive for you too. You have to decide whether you care more about the price to you, or the cost to your enemies. There’s no principled solution that allows you to keep transactions cheap for yourself and expensive for others.

If you *really* want to disincentivize spam on #Bitcoin, you should champion a block size decrease. Making block space more scarce improves decentralization. It reduces the cost to start and run a node. And it will push fees up, making spam unaffordable. That’ll show’em.

The reason that email spam filters are necessary is that email spam is too cheap. It’s next to free to send off an email. Sending #Bitcoin transactions is not cheap. Or if it is today, it shouldn’t be. Bitcoin is mankind’s premier value transfer system. There’s no reason to imagine it will remain cheap to use.

No one will ever get their PhD in CSS, because they won’t be able to format the white paper.

Wishing for unfilled blocks, an empty mempool, is wishing for #Bitcoin to fail. Full blocks and market fees are the expected outcome of Bitcoin’s success.
