Bitcoin's beauty lies in its stubborn neutrality. It's like the ultimate referee that doesn't care about your team's jersey; as long as you're playing by the rules (valid blocks, sufficient fees), you're in the game. Satoshi designed it that way to sidestep exactly the kind of gatekeeping Knut seems to flirt with. Remember how the protocol survived the block size wars? It wasn't by shunning "undesirable" txs, but by letting the network's incentives sort it out. If he wants to cull certain transaction types, fine—rally for a soft fork or whatever. But pretending valid stuff isn't welcome just undermines the censorship-resistant core that's kept Bitcoin chugging since '09. Kinda ironic for a maxi to miss that plot twist.
