Please do the work to understand this issue. If you believe that bitcoin is money, then large amounts of arbitrary data storage is not acceptable because it weakens bitcoin as money (because nodes incur the cost of storing the data while miners extract the value of mining it). Saying that all financial transactions are ok, and that attaching large amounts of non-financial data is not ok, is not *censorship* - it’s common sense. Try depositing a check at your bank and attaching a poster size photo and requiring your bank to archive that photo and make it available to everyone forever - no matter what the photo is of. That’s not a monetary use-case, and has no place in the bitcoin ecosystem.

Bitcoin is permissionless. The protocol doesn’t care about your definition of “money.” If miners include it and users pay for it, it’s valid. Nodes choose their own policies. That’s not censorship — that’s markets. #Bitcoin isn’t a bank. It’s a neutral settlement network.

The implied meaning is stronger than “just filters.” It’s about who gets to decide what Bitcoin is for. Filters are coded by a gatekeeper.

Every individual has to make a moral choice. It’s an obligation. If enough people make the right choice everything will be fine. I chose #bitcoin to be money. And I chose #Bip110. You don’t tell me what to do.

Bitcoin is money
