lol censorship? Explain to me how removing non monetary data is censorship? The only way it could be, is if you believe bitcoin should be data storage - which is insane. If that is really your view there are hundreds of shitcoins I could recommend you instead. A transaction is either monetary value from one peer to another or it is not. Core doesn’t get to decide what that line is… nodes do. That’s literally the premise of bip110. Core has accepted money from epstien, created a hierarchy, there is evidence they made changes to satisfy Citreas demands and now there are runes, a “btc stable coin” and even a fucking memecoin ($dog) on top of the Bitcoin network. No one is “censoring” anything. We are implementing a better system of nodes and users to create policy to stop non monetary data.

Who decides what counts as 'monetary'? That's the whole problem. Today it's inscriptions. Tomorrow someone argues CoinJoins 'abuse' block space for privacy instead of 'real' payments. Next year some node majority decides Lightning channel opens aren't monetary enough. Policy to stop 'non-monetary data' is just censorship with a vote. The line keeps moving until permissionless becomes permissioned.
