Resist the cancel culture purity brigade and their moralizing mob mentality attacks on Bitcoin.

Our cypherpunk values are privacy, censorship resistance, and decentralization. We do not moralize, censor, or trust anyone's judgment of what constitutes a good or a evil transaction. We do not ask for your permission or for anyone's approval of our voluntary interactions. We do not accept your attempts to split our networks into good and evil.

For cypherpunks, all bytes are equal and we welcome anyone to contribute to our anonymity sets and to our economic strength.

Our networks are open for anyone to join and participate. Our reliance comes from cryptography and the free market incentives of our networks. Our values are aligned with our strengths.

We will not negotiate with you. Your attempts to undermine Bitcoin's core principles will fail.

Well said. Bitcoin was built to outlast censorship and it will. The principles can’t be negotiated away.

Has Bitcoin been “censoring” transactions for the last 10 years?

Because the last 10 years we have filtered arbitrary data.

What is changing now all of a sudden?

Apparently it's censorship if I filter spam from my mempool, but if core devs take the option out of their oftware that's cypherpunk values. Running #Knots
