The author of "The Bitcoin Standard" supports funding developers to increase the cost of Bitcoin spam
Saifedean Ammous, the author of "The Bitcoin Standard" and an economist, expressed his willingness to "invest some sats" to fund a full-time developer dedicated to making it more difficult and costly to send spam on Bitcoin. Ammous's remarks were in response to a discussion initiated by the pseudonymous developer GrassFedBitcoin. GrassFedBitcoin called for the Bitcoin core team to merge pull request number 28408, which would enable node operators to more easily filter inscriptions on Bitcoin. GrassFedBitcoin pointed out that the lack of inscription filtering tools has led to unnecessary blockchain bloat and undermined Bitcoin's role as a monetary protocol. He wrote, "People who do not run nodes want to propagate inscriptions." He also noted that past increases in Bitcoin's OP_RETURN limits were based on incorrect assumptions. He advocated for a configurable default policy to prevent Bitcoin from being used to store JPEG images instead of monetary data.
