Ayeeeeeeee!!!! Yup!

This is a tough one for me. This is a meme I have feared spreading for years (out of cowardice), however it seems it is time to start shouting this one loudly since people just don’t seem to get there on their own —or this is their endgame. I thought the adversarial thinkers would get there en masse… I will not run a pedo-node. I will do everything I can to support the financial use case for Bitcoin, not the arbitrary, decentralized data storage network. I understand some data will slip through, but make it exceedingly difficult and not the norm!

The fee market does not address this problem!

Storing illegal data on other people’s computers forever is more valuable to some people than any monetary transaction is to most others. It seems that people overlook this because they don’t notice all the walls, both physical and digital, that are in place to isolate certain black markets from general markets. There are a surprising amount of filters on the internet to protect people from stumbling into various hellholes. Bitcoin currently has similar walls, but people don’t realize how important they are because Google refuses to show all the insane search results that can be returned for even the most innocent search terms. This could end with a “hide your Bitcoin node under your floorboards” era of Bitcoin. It’ll be SO FUN, and we’ll find out who the hardcore cypherpunks are.
