The problem is not to put extra data in block, but if one day this "extra data" have more value than normal money transaction. It would mean a priority given to extra data instead legit transactions. This is the point. If you want to put extra data, it's not fun but it's ok. If this raise fees or avoid legit transaction, it is clearly not ok. And the more space you give for extra data, the more use case will exist to use this place. #bitcoin must be protected for his future and not only "hope" fees will regulated it by their own. #btc4ever

Its not "freedom before anything else" its "peer to peer cash" before anything else. I don't want to store copies of your kiddie porn library on my start9 node, and most other people don't either. You open bitcoin up to jpegs and right away it will be a bunch of disgusting pornographty stuck on everyone's nodes until the end of time or the project fails.
