Except that's NOT how censorship resistance works.
Censorship resistance comes from anyone being able to mine a block
Discussion
Sorry for my ignorance: But what happens when (hypothetically) the whole network consists of censors able to mine a block?
Exactly, and that's Adam's point, so long as some miners are willing to mine "spam", and some nodes are willing to relay it to them, filters on the rest of the network don't prevent spam.
You’re ignoring how Bitcoin actually works -and how it was designed from day one.
Censorship resistance doesn’t start at the miner. It starts at the node, at the mempool, at the relay.
Bitcoin was built so even a small group of honest nodes - a silent minority could keep the network alive and uncensorable, especially in the early fragile days. That’s not some new invention to defend ordinals, it’s a foundational defense mechanism against centralized attacks.
This idea didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s how Bitcoin survived in the beginning and it’s still what protects it today.
