In this episode of the Stephan Livera Podcast, Stephan interviews Kevin Cai (ProofOfCash) about the Bitcoin spam debate, exploring different viewpoints and camps, including Knots, Bitcoin Core, Libre Relay, and Ordinals. Kevin shares his alignment with Libre Relay's ethos of censorship resistance and discusses the subjectivity of defining spam, distinguishing between consensus and policy. The conversation covers Luke Dashjr's criticisms of Libre Relay, the role of filters, the impact of small UTXOs, and the economic incentives for miners to include various types of transactions. Kevin argues against interventionist approaches to managing the Bitcoin network, advocating for a more hands-off, data-driven approach that respects the economic incentives of paying customers. They also discuss the RDTS proposal and its potential impacts.
