“Bitcoin was designed to be censorship resistant and depends on censorship resistance to work-- and a fact of free speech is that it means it allows both speech you like and speech you oppose.”
Honestly, it’s intentionally misleading statements like this one that hurt your cause.
You know very well that Bitcoin was designed as a payment network, not as censorship-resistant Instagram. Making it harder for people to spam monkey JPGs to the blockchain is not “censorship,” and you pretending that blocking that sort of spam is trampling on some scammers “free speech” doesn’t help matters.
