a free market, and that market is much larger and smarter than I am. We just host the arena.
I learned a long time ago that you shouldn't fight or think you are bigger than the invisible hand in markets.

Kudos to you sir, for continually defending our freedom to transact!

Thank you kindly.

Come to find out that this OP_Return drama is linked to a startup named: Citre in order for them to do business... guess what coin they are currently using? Bitcoin Testnet 4 and you need 10 whole coins. https://citrea.xyz/bridge

How cute, but I fully understand why. It just further shows "Faucets give 0.0001 TBTC and that is more than enough for testing your app" is not longer inline with the main use case of Testnet. Testnet has evolved into a way to test other peoples apps and dust doesn't cut it when transacting with each other on a blockchain. Dust sucks... as we can see some people so passionately feel. Testnet needs to have the ideology that it maybe worth a small amount today, it is not a long term option like Bitcoin due to a reset date that is set, such as 1-07-2030. (Gives people a week to recover from the Holidays and get Testnet v5 right this time, but Testnet v4 needs real POW ASAP. Testnet v4 mining being gamed is the number one reason people will buy/sell them, because you can throw 2 PH at the network and still get your ass handed to you by a Windows 98 machine submitting Dif 1 @ 20 mins + 1 second.)

Personally, I'm a dust king lol, I can shit on your blockchain like no other, Dooglus (Just-Dice owner) and I have butted heads over it, he is the one who built a website better than Eric Vorwhatevers Satoshi Dice site and part of why he did it is because of all the onchain junk SD created.. Then I got into faucets and used a whole Indonesian army to dust up a coin we use on JD. I can blow services wallets up and make it a bitch to sync (we hit Poloniex privately as well for fucking with my withdraws so much).

*People need to pay attention to Bitcoin Testnet because it is where the most extreme behaviors & actions can be found.*
