Thanks for posting that - I’m not on X so would never have seen it. “One persons spam is another persons content” is the crux of this whole issue. The current cadre of developers in Core believe that anything paying fees (to miners) belongs in the blockchain (that node operators pay to relay and store forever). That makes no economic sense, and anyone who believes Bitcoin is money will agree that non-monetary use cases belong in side chains or layer 2 protocols where they pay for their own distribution and storage. But VCs like free, secure storage that someone else pays for, and VCs fund Core developers, so it’s probably not a coincidence that Core is acting this way. Everyone in the Bitcoin community who isn’t also a shitcoiner should be able to get behind the idea that Bitcoin needs to push back against wasteful non-monetary use cases. It’s sad that so many focus on the personalities of the main proponents on both sides because as Bitcoiners we should care about the facts and do the work to understand the implications of the changes made in Core v30.
