My thoughts on Bitcoin transactions and filters:

If you’ve ever run an email server, you already understand how filters work. Spam filters don’t block 100% of junk mail, but they stop an incredible amount. Consider that nearly half of all email worldwide is spam. That's wild! Should email providers and clients abandon spam filtering just because some messages slip through and filter updates are an ongoing task? 😂 Of course not. That would be insane.

At the end of the day it's great to have multiple options for Bitcoin clients. Run whichever you feel is best for you and for the type of network you support.
