Do u run a node or do u use somebody else's? Spam makes it more expensive to run a node so yes it does limit people around the world to use Bitcoin as money today in a sovereign way.

Im suggesting that you're not using Bitcoin anymore though. You may as well be using Monero or some other shitcoin. And you say "today"...I'm not interested in today. The whole premise of bitcoin was that it cannot be tampered with and that TOMORROW is what we can rely on. That has changed.
