For years, there has been FUD that Bitcoin's blockchain could be criminalised by storing CSAM on it.

For years, the answer has always been that Bitcoin doesn't support data storage, and the offending content is not the blockchain itself, but the additional software used to transform the blockchain into CSAM.

By sanctioning data storage, Core 30 is eliminating that argument. There will no longer be any additional software required, your Bitcoin node itself will provide CSAM on demand, using a well-defined and officially supported format.

The very reason "CSAM on the chain" was FUD, is being _destroyed_ by Core 30. They are making it a _true_ accusation. No amount of obfuscation will change this fact.

This is not the _only_ reason to reject Core 30. But even if it was, it would _still_ be strong reason to do so.

Of course it does. Bitcoin is a monetary network, it can't be anything else but that.

A hammer also doesn't care if its used to harm people. Saying "bitcoin doesn't care" is only witty if you understand that it doesn't even have a mind in the first place. These slogans are just mind viruses...
