And theres no reason an encrypted message saying anything should take up more than a hundred bytes that need to be stored and verified by every node forever. Your response didnt even make sense for what you were responding to lmao. Have you synced a node recently? These nebulous NoN mOnEtArY transactions have a very real effect

function is not mysterious and is observable; that’s the point. sending UTXOs communicates value, which is monetary. I don’t give a fuck what is in arbitrary data, it’s arbitrary, discretionary, ie means nothing, and is valid under consensus right now. any function of arbitrary data is non-monetary. it’s attached to a monetary transaction. it’s a denial of one’s rational faculty to say “who is to say what is monetary” furthermore, that logical misstep costs one the concept of truth itself. it’s a head first dive into epestimic nihilism, and possibly the greatest performative contradiction anyone could make.

the point of the cucumber example is upon you becuase you are fixating on particular content and completely miss the principles in play. it doesn’t matter what is encrypted or not encrypted in arbitrary data. it’s the category, the function, the essence
