Instead of arguing over specific code like BIP 110, I want to ask a much harder question in this solo take: Is it actually censorship to address spam? I'll explain why prioritizing financial transactions over JPEGs isn't authoritarianism, and why claiming it is destroys our ability to protect the network. We built a protocol for decentralized money, not unlimited file storage. Let's talk about what real censorship actually means. Chapters (00:00:00) - \"Censorship\" and Spam (00:01:41) - The analogy (00:02:52) - Free speech and limits (00:04:54) - The trick (00:06:30) - Size limits vs censorship (00:08:06) - What censorship really is (00:10:48) - The Motte and Bailey argument (00:14:45) - Bitcoin is for money (00:16:20) - Is limiting spam censorship?
