Core is essentially centralized on GitHub, The fact that people like Luke and mechanic can create their own fork and people can use it is the only reason I would say it is not centralized. The issue is not that spam exists, It is that when core increases the data carrier size, It will lead to child pornography on the bitcoin blockchain, Just like BSV, And when that hits the mainstream news, Institutions will need to explain that to their investors. Bad for bitcoin. Clearly bitcoin has proven its value as money, And the only legitimate argument is block propagation time, But is sharing child porn worth sacrificing the integrity of the network? There are plenty of places to find child pornography, And that will never change, But the fact that core is so against this sound argument is to me just like I cannot vote against monetary debasement any way except lowering my living standards. I cannot vote against this change in core any way except running an older version of core. Still feels like the politburo of core doesn’t care about child exploitation material on bitcoin.
