Permissionless protocols that don't take spam seriously become unusable.

Thabkfully, no one here is pretending it's all valid use of Nostr and thus inciting us to inaction.

However, Bitcoin is the most important protocol of our lives in many ways and the gas lightning around the spam it suffers has been sadly very effective.

Very few take it seriously or imagine fee markets for block space are somehow sufficient when they clearly aren't.

Fees and the economics of bitcoin prevent spam.

I think because people don't understand the subtle ramifications of spam on bitcoin. Spam on nostr does not weaken it's decentralisation / censorship resistance.
