Bitcoin doesn’t need gatekeepers. It needs incentives.

The freedom to transact, no matter how strange, niche, or even foolish - is the core principle behind Bitcoin. You don’t get to decide what’s valuable to others. That’s not how permissionless systems work.

Filtering inscriptions is not “protecting Bitcoin” - it’s censorship, plain and simple. The same tired argument every censor makes: “Some things don’t belong here.” But on an open blockchain, no one has the right to decide that.

Bitcoin is neutral. It doesn’t care what’s in a transaction, it only cares whether you pay the fee. And miners follow incentives. If people are willing to spend sats to use Bitcoin in new ways, services will emerge to meet that demand.

This isn’t chaos - it’s freedom.

That's why I'm here.

I'm more on Core's side in this whole debate, but Bitcoin's neutrality also means that node runners can censor whatever they wish, as long as they don't break consensus.

Yes..they can If they wish but the thing is they delay those tx's and don't censor them today. I don't trust people who push the child porn arguments when it comes to open protocols and networks. This alone puts a red flag on Knots for me.
