what is ridiculous? he's right. you can't do any use case in bitcoin, that's why there are soft and hard forks. it's permissionless about people because you don't have to ask permission to any one to use it.

You confuse permissionless money with permissionless file hosting. Bitcoin validates monetary transactions - not arbitrary data storage. Your "permissionless" rhetoric serves as blinkers, obscuring the reality that without filters, every node operator becomes an unwilling host for permanent file storage, including illegal content and child exploitation material. Permissionlessness defends people transacting value; it does not mandate nodes subsidize unlimited use cases consuming disk and bandwidth. By conflating the two, you aren't defending censorship resistance - you're inviting the regulatory obliteration of Bitcoin as money. Keep the blinkers on. Watch Bitcoin become a file-sharing honeypot that authorities crush, while node operators are left holding the permanent, illegal baggage.

censoring content and protocol validity have two different objects. https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqspxgc6unxajuj2ww4kqhn8pya8t…

Reading comprehension failure.

Luke is 100% correct. Bitcoin is permissionless *money*. For permissionless other stuff you'll need to find another blockchain. You should check out Ethereum. It aligns perfectly with your "everything is a valid use case" mindset.

Permissionless money not permissionless arbitrary data storage network.

Ahhh you got me so good
