It's a really bad look to constantly be paranoid about conspiracies to destroy Bitcoin It makes you sound like a big-blocker Even if you think you're right, that attitude is very off-putting to practically-minded people who want to understand and contribute It's possible to make a conspiracy theory that Knots is the attack on Bitcoin, if you want to make this a boring argument with random allegations

Of course there's something you can do: you can enforce stricter consensus rules. But no one in the puritan camp has the conviction to do so.

I didn't put forward any conspiracy theories. Regardless of the motivations, opening mempools up to spammers by default is bad for the Bitcoin network.

Bitcoin needs to be openly hostile to spammers and scammers. A consensus change is not necessary to accomplish that.

Just let the spammers destroy Bitcoin so that it can't be used as money. It's not like utility coins and shit exist nah let's put all the spam into Bitcoin instead

Fork it, then. I've said multiple times here that we should be forking the fuck out of it. I'm in the puritan camp. Prove you mean it. But you don't mean it - you specifically want to attack bitcoin. You're not interested in attacking something inconsequential. Big talk, but that's it.
