Not sure when plebs will realize how this degrades the monetary use case of #bitcoin network.
It also affects the cost of running your own node.
These are some of the recent pictures of the mempool. Probably nothing (for the bitcoiners who are neutral on the spam issue or whoever is supporting SCAM in the name of valid transactions).
It's very annoying to see a lot of influencers in the #bitcoin community who either chose to stay neutral because they are friends with someone who is scamming people with Shitcoins on Bitcoin or chose to support SCAM in the name of valid transactions because they were or they have been part of selling jpegs to scam people.
If bitcoiners would have shown the same resistance to spam as they have shown resistance to OFAC compliant transactions, things would have been way different. We would have way less spam and shitcoin magazine would have been bankrupted by now.
My fellow bitcoiners, don't follow people, follow motive(s) and idea(s) of the people so, we don't get into the same mess again in the future.
Last but not least, if you are concerned with the health of the #bitcoin network, please run Knots on your node instead of #bitcoin core and if you are miner, point your hash towards Ocean mining pool for mining almost spam free blocks.
