The author of "Bitcoin Standard" will fund developers to deal with garbage data on the BTC chain

Odaily News Saifedean Ammous, an economist and author of The Bitcoin Standard, expressed his willingness to fund full-time developers to increase the cost of spam inscriptions on the Bitcoin network to curb its proliferation. He compared this problem to spam in emails and believed that technical means should be used to make the generation of spam data more expensive, thereby reducing its impact on the network.
Saifedean Ammous stressed that combating spam is not censorship, but a legitimate means for node operators to maintain the health of the network. He also proposed "abandoning" the work of developers who specialize in developing spam tools, and even hiring external developers to suppress these systems. This debate reflects the continued divisions within the Bitcoin community over the purpose of the network. As the amount of spam on the chain increases, calls for technical countermeasures are growing. (Cointelegraph)
