Don't let anyone convince you that Bitcoin belongs to Wall Street or big corporations.
Its strength comes from the millions of people around the world who wake up every day and earn, save, stack, and hold.
You matter. Bitcoin has always been a grassroots monetary revolution.
@stephanlivera@realricky@start9labs The ones who want to be their own bank and live on Bitcoin must have their own FULL node with an Electrum Server (e.g. Electrs or Fulcrum). A pruned node is NOT sufficient.

@stephanlivera You are heading in the wrong direction.
Listen to @GrassFedBitcoin and understand why BIP-110 still probably going to win.

Spam cannot be stopped 100%, but will be reduced significantly when BIP-110 is activated.
The main goals is to increase the decentralization of the Bitcoin network.
@theonevortex@CedYoungelman Support BIP-110, if you want to ensure the Bitcoin has a decentralized future. Otherwise it will become a CBDC Trojan horse.
Think about this for a second. It is not too hard to get it.
Best choice: Running BIP-110 and holding $BTC in your coldwallet.
It is your choice if you buy their papers motivated through these AI generated marketing videos.
The fact that you're measuring spam by looking at transaction fees is a bit alarming, as I'm not quite sure if you're ignorant or deliberately lying to people.
Look at the UTXO set and the size of the blockchain since Feb of 2023. See if you can spot the amount of "valid transactions" that are just above the dust limit. See if you can grasp how many GB of data will need to be stored by all nodes from thousands of plebs with limited resources around the world for the rest of time.
You don't send the Nigerian Prince email to spam because you question whether the "transaction" is valid. You do it because it's not useful for anyone other than the scammer who sends it. Contrary to what Core supports say, it IS easy to identify spam. But in Bitcoin, the equivalent of a Nigerian Prince email is something all nodes have to store for eternity, so its exponentially more harmful.
This is not difficult to understand @saylor. We either do what it can to protect the protocol's purpose as sound money (however imperfectly), or we don't and Bitcoin slowly degrades into a pile of junk where only a few hundred people can afford to run nodes, either because the hardware is expensive or because the nature of the data stored leaves them legally liable or exposed.
Do better.
