I guess the argument I’m making boils down to bitcoin is doomed, right? I mean, if it can’t work as intended when block space is fully used, either block space drops or bitcoin is not useful…feels like a strange conclusion but compsci isn’t always straight forward

Got it.
I imagine the truth most properly expressed woul look like a table comparing low resource full node performance with and without spam vs. Block height
Something like: rpi3 nodes will become impractical at blockheight xxxxxx with spam but will remain practical until xxxxxx+yyyyyy without spam or something like that.
