According to Odaily Planet Daily, Saifedean Ammous, the author of 'The Bitcoin Standard', has expressed his willingness to fund full-time developers dedicated to increasing the cost of junk data on the Bitcoin network to curb its proliferation. He likens junk data to spam emails, believing that technical measures should be taken to make its generation more expensive, thereby reducing its impact on the network. Ammous emphasizes that combating junk data is a legitimate means for node operators to maintain network health and suggests 'discarding' the work of developers who create tools for junk data. This debate reflects the ongoing divisions within the Bitcoin community regarding the use of the network.
