The answer is simple. If you want ephemeral identities, you need to pay up, because money is the only thing that is meaningfull to the other party since you decided to rule out any other vector of judgement.
Or in other words: reputation is capital, and since you forgo that capital creation you have to come up with some other type of skin to put into the game.
Its obvious, why are people breaking their pretty heads over this; you can't have your cake and eat it as well 🤷♂️

I think so too. Either social graph or pay to play. PoW hinders regular users (especially mobile) more than spammers.
correct. privacy means spam or bitcoin
yes, pow isn't practical for spam prevention in the age of personal computing. the only useful way is to tokenize the pow in sats and make people pay.
Ecash sats as stamps for messages.
That sounds great in theory.
The challenge is it is a pain in the backside for someone not familiar with this world to acquire this money.
So? Blame the skies, the world, blame God, you are demanding the impossible so who is responsible to fix it? It is not a "challenge", it is an unreasonable demand
Money is proof of work though
