This is how lots of us feel nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxw309aex2mrp0yhx5c34x5hxxmmd9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9u0ljp2l and are trying to get to first principles as to why this arbitrary data, in this format and size, is even on Bitcoin to begin with? 🤔

Shouldn't the main Devs be working to make BTC the best "money"?

If so, then they need to explain why it's *good* to encourage and be OK with people sending jpegs of cats to my node. 🫠

Is that what their best iteration of money is?

I believe data is representative and what it represents matters. Very sharply.

Bloating nodes with rando spam, opposed to financial transX data (sender, receiver, sat amount, fee) seems counterintuitive to the whole project's intent.

Is money just 'jump ball' to whomever wants to pay a miner the fee to push whatever they want to the entire network?

If it takes changing concensus to get rid of such spam, then perhaps we deserve a better "money".

Am I wrong? 🤷‍♂️

Or is not wanting random jpegs on my money censorship?

What even is Bitcoin to become? 👾
