Replying to Avatar Bitcoin Mechanic

In the fork war nodes were being asked to store crazy amounts of data to facilitate the whole world using L1 cheaply in perpetuity.

In the spam war, nodes are being asked to relay as much data as possible for no benefit whatsoever.

We are not a serious project.

It kills me because at least during the fork war we all agreed on what bitcoin *was* - it was just a question of tradeoffs.

This war however is an effort to redefine Bitcoin entirely - as arbitrary data storage that can sort of do money as an additional cool feature.

Isn’t it the same amount of data as full blocks?

Per transaction? No.

In theory, if a L2 that’s built did monetary transactions than that might not be true?

Well, in reality that's not what's happening. Also, L2's have no need for excessive data to settle on L1, so moot point as well.
