Cypherpunks don't do things in plain sight because they know the government is waiting for the slightest opportunity to screw them over. This is what the idiots at Core do and allow.
It's very naive behavior, because allowing this shit is unnecessary 🤷♂️
look. i see where you are coming from, but from where I am, what this looks like is complacency. bottom line is that as far as international consensus is concerned and as far as the law goes in every single country on earth, monetary self souvernty and capital protection against confiscation by inflation are illegal. it does not really matter, if you somehow make it more "illegal". governments are coming after bitcoin in the same manner as for every other freedom you have. glacially slow and deliberate
I still don't understand your point of view. Why risk Bitcoin for unnecessary things? Are photos of monkeys and possible criminal uses really necessary?
This complacency is a topic you use, but it is you who fall into complacency with your nonsensical arguments.
Tell me why I have to accept that crap on my node? Bitcoin wasn't created for this.
And yes, the filters work with mass adoption like we had before the witness bug, but they've stopped working because Core hasn't fixed it.
