I do believe that bitcoin is money and that all other «transactions» are spam. I think it’s pretty obvious and self evident. Bitcoin was created to separate state and money, not to scam people with Quantum Cats. Trying to cloud what Bitcoin is, reminds me of trying to pretend there are countless genders and that men can be women. It’s unprincipled relativism, and it will probably destroy Bitcoin if it not stopped.

You should post more about spam/scam on Bitcoin and tyranny of shitcoin core on Nostr since Nostr is still circlejerk of few simpfluencers who just blindly worship shitcoin core and shitcoin core devs. And then there are some simpfluencers and snake oil salesmen like @ODELL, @Marty Bent and @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 who try very hard not to associate themselves with shitcoin core but plebs are starting to realize that who they are siding with. Moreover, they also try very hard not to show their Luke Derangement Syndrome (LDS) and Knots Derangement Syndrome (KDS) but plebs can see easily how badly they are suffering with LDS and KDS.

Oh no - its the opposite way around. Virtue signaling about “spam” is the current thing my dude. In this case you are the libtard covidiot who virtuesignal based on emotion and not technicals/logic- there was so much debate and info shared last year. Look into that and im sure you will change your mind
Spam on Bitcoin is disgusting. Bitcoin Knots has good filters to keep mempool clean of spam and BIP110 improves controls against spam on consensus level.
Well put. For me it's always been an issue of scope creep. Bitcoin has one use case: money. Those who want bitcoin to be more than that can go create their own shitcoin, or join one of the many existing ones.

That's my point. Or rather do more Bitcoin walks instead wasting time on trying to policy and centralize the network. Bitcoin walks are much more valuable for Bitcoin adoption than this "I don't like how people use Bitcoin" initiative. image
Thank you for your kind advice! You are invited to join the walks. It's just that it's a controversy if bitcoin is broke or not, and if it needs fixing or not. I understand that you might have a different opinion than me. I will generously let you have it. In turn please allow me to choose how I use my time. Deal?

Lets see how a monetary transaction looks like and how an OP_RETURN spam that takes 100s to 1000s times more space look like. I am sure you will notice the difference. Spam is disgusting. 1. This is how a Bitcoin monetary transaction looks like image 2. This is how OP_RETURN transaction looks like image and the spam waste of space goes on and on like that image

Inscriptions are a hack, an exploit of the system. An abuse. That exploit and other similar exploits shall be mitigated.
It is not in the least obvious or self-evident, not in other forms of crypto. If Bitcoin was made for separation of state and money it has failed utterly as the state is all over it and too many bitcoiners are cheering that. Fuck your worthless opinions about trans people. And none of this has a damn thing to do with relativism.

Bitcoin didn’t win by being everything to everyone. It won by being very specific and very hard to compromise.

sorry, I'm having rough time lately. non of this is my business what you do with your time.
The damage example from the top of my head is the increasing cost of running a node, which is a centralising force. Additionally, the utxo bloat is a mining centralising force. Centralisation makes the network more vulnerable. The original post is more philosophical than technical, but in my opinion, in case of bitcoin serving as money, the tech should follow the original idea, not the other way round. If we don't defend it and optimise the tech to serve the original purpose, we will lose it.

looks like you are concerned about utxo bloat, while the entire idea or lifting OP_RETURN limit is to reduce utxo bloat. Are other BIP110 supporters also concerned about utxo bloat?
Bip110 is not only about the op_return. And the idea of op_return limit lifting to mitigate utxo bloat is controversial to say the least.
Core is negotiating with the terrorists. They are saying: let's give the spammers op_return, so they don't bloat the utxo set. Bip110 is saying: gfy, we will defend both (and patch other exploit vectors), go spam somewhere else. This is my simplified understanding.
If bitcoin can be destroyed like that then it’s already failed - just look back 200 years at what people cared about and you’ll see the waves of humanity just do their thing. We’re still in the infancy here…..
