According to Odaily Planet Daily, Saifedean Ammous, the author of (The Bitcoin Standard), expressed his willingness to fund full-time developers dedicated to increasing the cost of garbage data on the Bitcoin network to curb its proliferation. He compared garbage data to spam in emails, suggesting that technical means should be employed to make its generation more expensive, thereby reducing its impact on the network. Ammous emphasized that combating garbage data is a legitimate means for node operators to maintain network health and proposed 'abandoning' the work of developers who create garbage data tools. This debate reflects the ongoing divisions within the Bitcoin community regarding the network's purposes.
