What if all of us configured our emails to somehow automatically forward every piece of garbage/spammy/marketing email we received to everyone we knew? Wouldn’t that be awesome??? Our contacts would love us! 🤡 -Musings of a Bitcoin Spam Apologist Bitcoin responsibly. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Good fences make good Neighbors. Good filters make good Bitcoiners. Only assholes and miscreants take issue with statements like these. Don’t be an asshole. Be a good Bitcoiner and a good Neighbor. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Gridlock/stalemate between Congress and The President? That’s a net positive for Americans. Gridlock/stalemate in Bitcoin? That’s a net positive for Bitcoiners. Godspeed. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Abolishing Income Taxes is about as important to Bitcoin today as building the Erie Canal was to New York City back in the early 1800s. Unsurprisingly, abolishing Income Taxes and building the Erie Canal both relate to reducing economic friction in the free market. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Bitcoin exists in a Goldilocks Zone, like the Earth. Bitcoin and Earth are both shared resources. Bitcoin is a very resilient system, like Earth. But just because Bitcoin and Earth are both resilient systems, doesn’t mean we should abuse or waste their resources. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Bitcoin is a shared resource that all Bitcoiners can own units of. This creates a healthy tension among all Bitcoiners who have some units of the shared resource because each person’s power and influence over the network is confined and defined in quantifiable ways. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

“If arterial road networks can be harmed by irresponsible drivers, then Cars and Roads are already broken.” “If the human body can be damaged by eating too much junk food, then the human body is already broken.” -Arguments of Bitcoin SpamScam Sympathizers #Bitcoin Spam Stans need to step their fucking games up and stop ignoring Common Sense.

The Bitcoin Spam Stans & Simps who don’t think Spam filters are effective also don’t think the Bottleneck Effect is effective. These people are Nihilists. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Just keep speaking The Truth until they bend the knee. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Filters have had a fairly effective bottleneck effect against Spam. Seems reasonable to think removing the filters will only make Traffic on Bitcoin more congested and more expensive. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

“Even if you hold the opinion that highways are exclusively for sober responsible drivers, there is no denying that drunk reckless drivers still drive on highways. Therefore, we should stop discouraging drunk reckless driving altogether.” -Bitcoin Spam Apologists 🤡🌎

Bitcoin and Life are Infinite Games. The quality of the players and their play controls the quality of the game. Godspeed. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Just like you should teach your kids to be considerate of others, you should teach Bitcoiners to be considerate of other Bitcoiners. Drive Responsibly. Bitcoin responsibly. Don’t be an asshole. Stigmatizing behavior that is worthy of stigma is a social good. Godspeed.🇺🇸🦅🫡

I’m apathetic about people abusing Bitcoin with spammy arbitrary data. I won’t even admit it’s a waste of resources. I want to fork Bitcoin for Covenants yesterday. I don’t like Bitcoin miners building their own blocks with their own templates. Who am I? 🤡

Peter W came up with the Bitcoin Witness Discount & is Spam Agnostic. Shocker. “If there’s demand for Spam transactions, we shouldn’t try to discourage it”.🤡 “If there’s demand for gender reassignment surgery, we shouldn’t try to discourage it.”🤡🤡 Same vibes. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

The motivation for Lightning was to enable Bitcoin to scale offchain on higher layers/L2. The problem afaict is that we undermined full scale Lightning adoption by creating a Witness Discount (an effective blocksize increase on L1) which allowed for more use of L1 In 2017, the “small block” SegWit team chose to have their cake and eat it too. So Bitcoin got Lightning by fixing Tx Malleability. But Bitcoin also got a blocksize increase via the Witness Discount. The Blocksize War was a War that never needed to happen. In fact, it wasn’t a War at all. The Blocksize War was actually a Blocksize Compromise + Lightning. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

The Witness Discount was a mistake, and it’s Liberating to admit that. Fiat Clown World conditioned us to “Just do Something!”, move fast and break things, and never admit making a mistake. Clown World mentality has seeped into how Bitcoiners approach growing Bitcoin. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

If the motivation for Lightning + Small Blocks was to create a release valve to push more transactions off chain. Then it’s reasonable to say the Witness Discount undermined Lightning + Small Blocks… … Because the Witness Discount was a Blocksize increase. Godspeed. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Do the Spam apologists not see how Bitcoin fees paid by Spammers can distort the Difficulty Signal? Or are you all just willfully stupid on this point? Godspeed. 🇺🇸🦅🫡
