So, if I start accepting fees for it... people can leave toxic waste in your yard? After all... they paid a fee
How do you define toxic waste exactly ? Any usage which does not use bitcoin as value transfer ? how arbitrary is that ?
Fees are a useful mechanism and, at times, an effective tool, but they do not themselves create moral authority or guarantee system survival
That's sadly, the best impartial authority we can get, if you have a suggestion unbiased of personal view about what ought to be considered waste, I'm interested to know. (I'm talking solely about Blockchain use cases, not about technical decisions which help to keep properties of what make bitcoin unique)
