I really don't care for MSC since it obviously is a flawed concept and has no real intrinsic value.

Can you summarize the reasons you think that? not quarreling here, just genuinely interested. i can't see any "obvious" reason.


MSC is based on an idea that you can stuff arbitrary information into a bitcoin transaction.   However, it does not leverage Bitcoin's main capability, that is, the ability to prevent double spending.   You can use any protocol (http, smtp) to enable MSC.  The use of Bitcoin's network is more hype than substance.
