Does the debate come down to: which will be a bigger node constraint over time, RAM or disk storage?

nostr:npub1wl6kysagynfz2ulmw4wa2trnc9ycd52upjv9zt297n0tpr5ls7dqk5caw8 Do you have anything on this?
This is the technical aspect that relates to running a node and the easier running a node is the better Bitcoin decentralization is the harded to attack Bitcoin Freedom Money is, especially with solomining, BitAxe, Datum, Ocean etc.
But there is also monetary aspect and moral aspect and probably few more.
The monetary aspect is that Bitcoin is Money and filling it with spam, jpegs and shit is an attack on its monetary value.
Bitcoin has no 2nd best because its Freedom Money. Not a spam dump for shitcoiners and scammers.
If lets say we have 100 000 Nodes running Bitcoin, the storage of every jpeg stored in a block is multiplied by 100 000. 1MB of spam suddenly takes 100GB of space.
The moral aspect is that it gets easier to store CSAM which is saw on BSV too.
So I think in addition to the technical issues, the value of Bitcoin needs to be taken into account.
And spam devalues Bitcoin as well as abuses it technically being a waste.
No, generally these days, all debates come down to scoring points with personal attacks
