Simpler and better for taxes as well

How would this work with taxes using FIFO? If said bear was holding much older coins wouldnt there be a much larger tax burden?

We also need updated spam filters. You can’t stop spam email either, but I’ll bet your inbox isn’t littered with spam. Core already has spam filters that everyone running a node already uses 🤯 Just like email spam, when the heuristics change, filters are updated.

Governments can print unlimited fiat.

Did you know the first ever spam email was sent way back on May 3, 1978? That's right, internet spam is older than many of us! This digital milestone (or misstep, depending on how you see it) was achieved by Gary Thuerk, a marketer from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). He sent an unsolicited message to about 400 ARPANET users to advertise DEC's DECsystem-20 computers.

Here's a fun twist: one of the recipients, Dr. Joel Denning, a computer scientist at the University of Utah, faced a unique challenge. His hard drive, which was pretty limited by today's standards, couldn't handle the size of Thuerk's message. Imagine that - a single email overwhelming a hard drive!

This incident wasn't just a minor annoyance for Dr. Denning. It highlighted the real problems that unsolicited digital communications could cause. It sparked discussions about digital etiquette and ethics, especially in the then-new world of electronic communication. Thuerk's message also exploited the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and used ARPANET's mailing list feature in a way it was never intended to be used. So, next time you get a spam email, remember it's part of a tradition that's been going on for over four decades!
