You can’t have permission to send value without permission to use blockspace however the protocol allows. Filtering by content instead of fees is subjective gatekeeping.

Today it’s wizard jpegs. Tomorrow it’s sanctioned addresses or capital controls. Every payment network eventually filters undesirable transactions.

Bitcoin’s promise was pay the fee, get the blockspace. High fees already filter inefficient uses. Adding human judgment breaks the neutrality that makes Bitcoin work. Either blockspace is neutral or it isn’t. There’s no middle ground.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
