Bitcoin Culture Has Always Been Anti-Spam

Culture is a dynamic construct in our minds .. transcation is always based in "VALUE" .. show me the value , culture will follow ..
There is no value in garbage data on Bitcoin.
ABSOLUTELY BASED VIDEO HERE 🔥
Make sure to zap Matt for his tireless work on this issue, but most importantly for his intellectual honesty!

Hi Matthew, to answer your question:
(Assuming core has not been corrupted), these are a few possible motivations of what core might be thinking:
1) “changing things at consensus level to stop spammers is a pain in the ass for several reasons (reaching consensus, code maintenance), so let’s first try this method and let’s see if it works”
2) “the best defence is to be as open as possible: if we try to stop spams with filters or at consensus level, they’ll always find a way in eventually. Let’s instead open it up completely and hopefully the market will sort it out for good”__(personally I wouldn’t mind this approach, just afraid that perhaps btc is still in the nurturing phase and still needs some “monetary focus” protection before being strong enough to be open up completely ?)
3) “we have a mining centralization problem, since we don’t want to stop spams at consensus level (see point #1 above) this is the best we can do to prevent further centralization at the moment
4) btc is fundamentally based on game theory, let’s actually let it play out and see if the players want more a “money database” or a “spam database”
FYI, if it was for me I’d change things at consensus level cause I’m a “monetary maxis”, but I am also not adverse to other use cases as long as they don’t greatly impact/prevent the monetary aspect of btc
Ciao

The free market has clearly chosen a money database.
Best overview I've seen so far on this subject. Thank youuuu!
Yes 🤷♂️
Bitcoin Core has been taken over by shitcoiners and scammers. Stop donating to them, stop donating to OpenSats.
Use alternative software like @BitcoinKnots
The culture is everything.
Stay strong.
At the end of the day we are actually Bitcoin.

Bloody Well Right ! ! !, Matt . . . as Satoshi himself once said (maybe)😁

Matthew, any thoughts on Lyn Alden’s?
Well, what are your own thoughts on it ? We need to learn to think critically again. No offense.
No offense taken. I’m listening to several different sources on this matter and trying to learn. Like Matthew K has said, it’s a complicated.
As of now I don’t have a strong opinion either way. However I am sympathetic to node operators not being forced to be a form of public storage for other people’s spam.
If we had more influencers like nostr:nprofile1qqsggcc8dz9qnmq399n7kp2yu79fazxy3ag8ztpea4y3lu4klgqe46qppamhxue69uhku6n4d4czumt99uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skuep026j8ly, spam would have significantly mitigated (not fixed) by now.
Once the spam war ends, plebs are going to find out which influencers are REAL bitcoiners and which ones are FAKE bitcoiners (aka spam apologists)
