Rob Hamilton being a spam apologist was also not on my 2025 bingo card
What a year

Bitcoin is permisionless, sorry if you just learned this!
😂
Have fun doing mental gymnastics to rationalize why nodes should relay and store spam in their mempool
You’ll accept it in a block though, so you’re complicit in the spam. Fork off and atone for your sins!
That doesn’t make me complicit, but with the moral framework you live under I see why you can’t understand that
My framework with bitcoin is amoral, its pure anarchy, just having you evaluate your own actions through the way you view others.
Your node accepts spam, allowing spam to propagate, so you're complicit.
That much is clear and it’s short sided
Complicit in the same you’re complicit about your tax dollars helping kill kids in Gaza.
Except bitcoin is anarchy, you don't need to pass a law, you can just fork off. You don't need an act of congress or win elections, thats why bitcoin is compelling.
Bitcoin is a tool made to help humans.
If you can’t see that abusing a protocol is not good and we should not support it or any measure designed to take power away from nodes and force them to relay spam despite there not being a compelling incentive to do so then there’s nothing to discuss here
Its a permisionless network that has censorship resistant properties, and what you are trying to do is invoke permissions into the network. You're trying to drain the ocean with a solo cup.
