There are 2 kinds of people in the world: Value Makers and Value Takers.
Value Takers are nothing new, and the always be those who are parasitically-minded will always exist.
BIPs 300 and 301 are a sign that these parasites are in the "Bargaining" stage of grief.

They can no longer Deny that the only viable way to grow their wealth is by providing value to others in exchange for #Bitcoin.
All their Anger-fueled attempts to slow down, destroy, or replace Bitcoin have failed, so they're trying a new tactic for Taking.
As the saying goes: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em ... and 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 beat 'em."
This tactic will also fail, which will take them to the next stage of grief: Depression.
I'm looking forward to it.
