Good Point. It is not up to developers to define what spam is or remove spam filters as they wish. These developers have one job and one job only: to write clean, error-free code. That’s it.

The sheer, staggering arrogance of a handful of coders, many of whom are paid by corporate interests, are socially-inept nerds with no real-world sense, or are potentially compromised assets to think they can dictate the future of global money is a sick joke.

Their role is to serve the network's users, who ultimately decide the rules through consensus. They are the plumbers, not the architects. They don't get to decide what "spam" is or whether filters work. They don't get to decide on the half of the network based on their own warped sense of morality or the financial incentives of their paymasters.

The future of money is not going to be held hostage by a cabal of conflicted, unaccountable geeks and the deep-state puppeteers who might be funding them. Their "expertise" begins and ends with a compiler. They will write the code the users demand, and that is the beginning and the end of their authority. Anything else is a usurpation of power and a betrayal of everything Bitcoin was created to be.

They should now their role, write the code & shut the fuck up.
