Bitcoin was designed to be money. Neutrality is a mean, not an end.

Does bitcoin need the massive, bloated, fiat-funded mining corporations to survive and be resilient?

1. You are free to think of it as of anyone's litter tray. But if so, what is the real purpose of bitcoin in your opinion?

2. Do you run a bitcoin node? If so, why? Or why not?

3. You say the filters do not work yet you say let's remove them and let's take away the possibility to use them from the node runners. Why?

For me the censorship resistance applies solely to monetary use and we need to optimise for that to keep bitcoin working. Bitcoin is a life threat for the various fiat rent seekers and they will try to destroy it.

The spam filters were introduced in 2014. It's not about introducing them now, it's about core planning to remove them completely, taking away the user's freedom to use them. OP_RETURN is not for monetary data, so no financial transaction is being filtered by it.

The whole CP argument is indeed FUD but clinging on it and refusing to listen to the arguments behind it is also missing the point.
