Trying my best!

Bitcoin was not designed to store arbitrary data, that is a plain and simple fact. Measures were taken to avoid spam of random data on the chain. However, if fees cannot sufficiently counter a spam attack, other actions might be required. If this situation continues for a year, you'll see opinions on this changing quite fast.

Are you comfortable explaining to people in need that they can no longer rely on Bitcoin as they should understand it's more important that degens can post butt jpegs on chain? That they're ignorant and should have anticipated this as Bitcoin is not only money but also a costly database for storing random data?

Spam filtering is a normal procedure in many technologies, it's dishonest to compare such a thing with government censorship. Everyone will know gov censorship when it happens.

If nostr relays would be filtering token airdrop spam, would you call that "censorship"? Because that's exactly the same thing. So I guess Nostr is not uncensorable? Please expand on this point.

So you consider the current fees "perfect"? How many tx have you done onchain recently?

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.

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...

Nah. Leverage will remain the name of the game. Many boomer hodlers and Wall Street will also take profit (rebalancing assets), and demand won't be able to sustain the peak price.

Definitely not saying ChatGPT holds the truth, but it might help you on your journey with some pointers to look into:

The statement you made suggests that the COVID-19 vaccine is ineffective because the spike protein antibody cannot cross the lung barrier. However, this is an oversimplification of the complex process of immunity and the mechanisms by which vaccines work.

Firstly, it's important to understand that the COVID-19 vaccine is designed to stimulate an immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. The vaccine contains various components, including antigens, adjuvants, and preservatives, that work together to activate the immune system and induce the production of antibodies that can recognize and combat the virus.

One of the key antigens in the COVID-19 vaccine is the spike protein, which is a surface protein on the virus that plays a critical role in its ability to attach to and enter host cells. By incorporating the spike protein into the vaccine, the immune system can learn to recognize and respond to it, producing antibodies that can block the virus's entry into cells and prevent infection.

However, as you pointed out, the spike protein antibody cannot cross the lung barrier, which means that it cannot directly reach the site of infection in the lungs. But this does not necessarily mean that the vaccine is ineffective.

The immune system is a highly sophisticated and interconnected network of cells, organs, and proteins that work together to defend the body against pathogens. When the immune system detects the presence of a foreign substance, such as a virus, it mounts a response that involves multiple cell types and molecular pathways.

One of the ways that the immune system combats viruses is through the activation of immune cells called T cells, which can recognize and kill infected cells. T cells can also produce chemical signals that attract other immune cells to the site of infection, creating an inflammatory response that helps to contain and eliminate the virus.

In addition, the immune system produces another type of antibody called IgA, which can cross the lung barrier and provide protection against respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV-2. IgA antibodies can coat the surfaces of cells in the respiratory tract, blocking the virus's entry and preventing infection.

Studies have shown that the COVID-19 vaccine induces both IgG and IgA antibodies, which provides broad protection against SARS-CoV-2. In fact, a study published in The Lancet found that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine induced robust IgG and IgA responses in participants, which correlated with protection against severe disease and hospitalization.

I'm not talking about covid. I'm asking you about vaccines against smallpox and polio, since you consider vaccines fraud.
