You are basically saying that just because other people's transaction doesn't matter to you then we should turn bitcoin into a cloud storage because that junk data also doesn't matter to you!!!
No. You twisted my words. I never said we
should turn bitcoin into a cloud storage. I find it a very dumb idea. I implied that if a group of people want to use it as cloud storage, they can have the option as long as they pay the respective cost.
Or, and bear with me on this horrendous idea, we adapt?
As you have rightly pointed out, we can't stay the same... Unless of course our goal isn't global adoption. The way I see it, is that the average Joe will never want to switch to Bitcoin, unless there's repealing of cash which will introduce the need for electronic cash, but that's just one extreme scenario for the time being. The average Joe never prioritized self-custody, so I doubt handing it over will mind him much.
