HMRC is coming for you!!

Bolt is good

An analogy: if a government provided public transportation to help ppl get from A to B throughout the city, but then some ppl increasingly began to use it to sleep on instead as a short stay hotel, or as an office for remote workers. They may even say “but I paid my fair to be on the bus!” But if enough ppl do that, then it turns the entire system into a short stay hotel or hot desk office and crowds out those who want to use the it for its original purpose. The general public (and the bus system) are harmed by this use of the bus that wasn’t ever the intention. So if ppl are unable to get to work due to busses being filled with ppl sleeping, thats analogous to ppl not being able to run nodes anymore because it’s now too difficult. The purpose was that everyone should be able to run a node at little cost. More node runners means more decentralisation, fewer node runners means more centralisation.

A great video by @GrassFedBitcoin I get the feeling that 2017, nodes took back control reminders, but today, nodes are trying to take back control from the devs. The one thing I know about Bitcoin is that it’s a network that serves node runners. If you’re attempting to serve anyone else then you’re not working in Bitcoins best interests.

A great interview with Luke regarding the topic of spam on the network.
