DP) Digital payment C) Collectible HA) High Art Certain individuals in Bitcoin are angry or are feigning anger about the fact that BTC is also being used as C or HA while they prefer it be used solely as DP (MoE/UoA). The filter crowd thinks they can "fix" BTC such that it will only work as DP. This is delusional & intractable. BTC is a technology platform as much as it is a money, a canvas or anything else. It is novel in this respect in the realm of scientific discoveries & inventions. Ironically, the filter crowd propose a mechanism (limit OP_RETURN) that hinders some of the most active DP users: Those using BIP47 Paynyms & Whirlpool Coinjoins (Tx0). If the filter crowd got their way actual DP users would be limited in their ability to use BTC privately. *Until such time as workarounds are developed. **Which they most certainly would be. ***Only a matter of time. So who really benefits? My suspicion is the Filter Crowd are a front for moneyed interests that actually want not JPEG inscriptions, but Private DP usage to be restricted. We shall see.

"They mistake messengers for generals. Even the Blanche Falcon warns against this hunt. We stand where law and honor converge. Let us bury their conspiracy theory in the sands of precedent." #FREESAMOURAI The Sands of Precedent: - Falcone (1940): Selling sugar/yeast to a bootlegger - Blankenship (1992): Selling pagers to drug dealers - Superior Growers (1993): Selling hydroponics gear marketed for weed These actions don't make you a conspirator.
