dont feel like arguing definitions, in this case lets go with non monetary transactions

Non-monetary transactions do not belong. #BitcoinIsMoney
I’m not here to argue semantics — just to clarify a few things.
Spam on Bitcoin has always meant something pretty specific:
transactions designed to clog the network, avoid fees, or disrupt normal usage.
Ordinals don’t do that.
They use standard Bitcoin transactions.
They pay full fees up front when inscribed — and again when sold or transferred.
They feed miners, help build the fee market, and actually reinforce Bitcoin’s long-term security.
So putting all “non-monetary data” in the same category as spam doesn’t really hold up.
Bitcoin is evolving — and with it, our definition of money is too.
People are already using Bitcoin not just for payments,
but to anchor truth, culture, and proof — all timestamped, immutable, and paid for.
That’s not misuse.
That’s exactly what Bitcoin was built to support:
permissionless innovation, with real skin in the game.
Bitcoin isn’t just currency anymore.
It’s a full monetary protocol.
And that opens up a lot more than we imagined at the start.
This is my take on it.
