And here's the thing -- I LIKE ALL THOSE PEOPLE. I like them for what they have to say and also for what they have done with their projects that support and enhance people's usage of Bitcoin. I agree with them that spam is degenerate usage of Bitcoin and it would be PREFERABLE that it didn't exist. But that's very different than an existential crisis.

An existential crisis warranting FREEZING VALID UTXO's.
THATS BONKERS. It's a discussion so unserious it could only be entertained on Twitter.
I hope they really freeze these “valid UTXOs” that normally you wouldn’t be able to spend even if you wanted, cuz they’re dust. I really hope they get this proposal over the line as a viable fork I could run. It’ll put a smile on my face even if it achieves nothing.
You are a shitcoiner my dude and you don’t even know it. “people’s usage of Bitcoin” sounds like something out of the mouth of a true Marxist. You say spam is degenerate and preferably it wouldn’t exist, but that degenerate spam exists precisely because the people that you *like* and *trust* did enable it for over two years until this degeneracy is now 40% of the entire size of the UTXO set and it’s a real hurdle for node runners, especially future ones.
