Actually, obligatory: Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until

Everyone claiming that Luke Dashjr is threatening legal action is lying.

It’s not Luke’s BIP. If you fear that your LDS is terminal, I urge you to seek professional help. Until you can sort that out, stay out of the debate because you’re making a fool of yourself. #BIP444 Bitcoin is money. 🧡

If you want your coffee maker to stop coffee grains from entering your coffee, and it doesn't, that's a technical problem. Coffee filters help. If you want your mempool policy to stop spam from entering your mempool, and it doesn't, that's a technical problem. Spam filters help.

Remember, this all could have been avoided if the devs working on Core had taken their responsibility seriously instead of selling out to shitcoiners.

The appeal to Fiat Legal Risks got louder only after the Spam Apologists and Core Maintainers ignored the Economic, Technical, Ethical, and Reputational risks of Spam/Unnecessary Data on Bitcoin for 2+ years… then launched & ran Core v.30 despite loud protest. And here we are.

Ossify

Spam is censorship.

Heavily weighing. That's right.
