For years, there has been FUD that Bitcoin's blockchain could be criminalised by storing CSAM on it.
For years, the answer has always been that Bitcoin doesn't support data storage, and the offending content is not the blockchain itself, but the additional software used to transform the blockchain into CSAM.
By sanctioning data storage, Core 30 is eliminating that argument. There will no longer be any additional software required, your Bitcoin node itself will provide CSAM on demand, using a well-defined and officially supported format.
The very reason "CSAM on the chain" was FUD, is being _destroyed_ by Core 30. They are making it a _true_ accusation. No amount of obfuscation will change this fact.
This is not the _only_ reason to reject Core 30. But even if it was, it would _still_ be strong reason to do so.

If I were a force of evil on earth threatened by BTC, I would secretly get core to spread illegal stuff onto bitcoin, then "save everyone" by publicly crucifying core and allowing only "government-approved" BTC nodes.
and only approved miners, to avoid that someone mine CSAM content into the timechain again
Got a question for you Luke.I get it.Shits gonna get worse with all these CSAM/CP problem and all...later on. Knots node runners gonna get drag in this whole mess and so does core.The thing is... all these ' bitcoin-game ' narrative ( bitcoin price manipulation/ mining firm activities / bitcoin marketing strategy etc )...is orchestrated by BlackRock. And I'm sure core is under their payroll as well together with major mining firms. With all these stuffs that's about to happen...wouldn't it destroys BlackRock's credibility from the investors point of view ? Do you really think BlackRock will pull the trigger and shoot themselves on the foot? That's practically suicide.Just my two sats.
Bitcoin can be criminalized for dozens of reasons beyond CSAM. Assuming that Bitcoin inherits its security by being compliant with legal behavior is a gross ignorance of how the network is designed and how the security model functions. Your arguments are rooted in appealing to peoples reactionary emotions rather than reasoned thinking.
"You telling people to leave explosives outside of your home is dumb because there's a million other ways to cause damage. Why even discourage carrying explosives in your house if it doesn't even prevent all types of harm?"
and then bitcoin will be officially a shitcoin
If someone wants to create a new wheel is same shit like Knots, is my belive I want no wheel where isn’t round in his self because it’s perfect ✨✌️🫶
