Bitcoin prevents censorship of monetary transactions - not arbitrary data storage. No one has the right to permanently store files on your hardware because they paid a miner once.
Game theory fails here because fees optimize for highest bidder, not highest utility:
- You: Want to buy coffee (low fee tolerance, high time preference)
- Spammer: Wants to store JPEGs forever (one-time fee, subsidized across all nodes permanently)
You pay once; we store forever. That's not "flushing money" - that's theft of storage.
"If spam kills Bitcoin, it's weak"?
Locks don't make your house weak - they make burglary expensive. Removing the 1MB cap (and filters like BIP-110) doesn't prove Bitcoin's strength; it proves you'll subsidize corporate data storage until your node chokes.
Permissionlessness defends people transacting value. It does not mandate you host child exploitation material so an NFT degen can speculate.
Run Knots. Filter the noise. Keep Bitcoin money.
