   Looks like it costs about 57 dollars to record a megabyte to the Bitcoin blockchain. This is accomplished by abusing the witness data space for a 75% space discount compared to the actual purpose of the network, financial transaction data.
   
   People are already saying this is against the intent of segwit but remember when you guys laughed at Ethereum DAO rollback and taunted "code is law!"

     @Moon bitcoin is in a constant superposition of "we can do everything ethereum does" and "if you do what ethereum does we'll block that usecase"

     @Moon you mean someone could spend 57 dollars to waste a megabyte of blockchain space?

     @lain It's like OpenBSD (or at least how it was when I was still reading misc.) If you ask for a new feature you will be told you are stupid for even suggesting it. Then a year later the feature will be implemented.

     @bot @cohle In November 2021 Bitcoin was soft-forked with the consent of 90% of the network and the changes that were implemented allowed a large amount of arbitrary data to be stored in a single transaction. And the space utilized is priced far below regular data price.

     @lain @animeirl writing child porn to the Bitcoin blockchain is exactly what Ayn Rand, the leader of Libertianism, would have wanted.
