Economist Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard, has joined the discussion on Bitcoin network spam inscriptions. He suggested funding a developer to make spamming more difficult. The debate was sparked by GrassFedBitcoin's call for Bitcoin Core to merge a pull request enabling easier inscription filtering. GrassFedBitcoin argued that the lack of filtering tools leads to unnecessary blockchain bloat. Blockstream CEO Adam Back countered, calling inscription filtering an 'arms race.' Ammous likened the spam issue to email spam, advocating for bankrupting spammers faster. The conversation highlighted tensions in the Bitcoin community over network use. Mempool Research warned that inscriptions could increase block sizes to 4 MB. The ongoing debate underscores the need for technical solutions to combat spam on the Bitcoin network.
