I run my node on an affordable 1TB SSD and I’m still well below capacity.
When the time comes, I’ll upgrade - as will anyone serious about running infrastructure.
That’s just reality.
We’re not exceeding the 4MB block limit.
The UTXO set isn’t growing like it did during the BRC-20 spike.
My node runs fine.
The hardest part for me to understand is the push for filters and Knots-like nodes as if they’re a real solution.
They don’t actually stop inscriptions - they just delay them.
The transactions still hit mempools.
They still end up on-chain.
So what’s the goal - virtue signaling?
Selective relaying?
If you’re not preventing inclusion in blocks, you’re not solving anything.
If a transaction pays the fee and follows consensus rules, it’s valid.
Filtering based on intent isn’t defense - it’s censorship.
Let node runners and consensus decide - not narratives, not vibes.
If that’s not acceptable, maybe it’s you who’s proposing the fork.
All in my humble opinion - as a Bitcoin student who values technical truth over ideology.
