Honestly, dropping the ball on this one. You're sustaining a spam attack on Bitcoin this way, hurting its early adoption as money.

Bitcoiners are so trained against "censorship", they mistake everything for it. This can then be weaponized against them, by flooding the chain with spam and making it unusable for small users.

Do you consider nostr relays filtering token airdrop spam to be censorship? Because that's exactly the same thing. Relays have rules on what messages they relay, just like Bicoin nodes and miners already do. So Bitcoin is already "censoring" now.

If nodes decide to filter certain tx, then those will no longer be valid tx on the network. This has been the case since day one for tx that are too big, double spends, wrong coinbase tx, etc.

Wake up Neo, Bitcoin has been "censoring" since day one...

a few dollars / adoption for betraying the uncensorable property....hmmm, I'll pass thanks.

Quit larping and read my message again. Bitcoin is already "censoring". Bitcoin already has rules that "censor" certain tx.

Adding a spam filter is not the censorship you should fear, from the comfort of your cosy couch. Meanwhile people with less means that need Bitcoin more than you are priced out.

That's the adoption I mean. Not the dollar signs you think about when you hear the word adoption.
