FILTERS DON'T WORK: Creator of Ordinals Says Knots is Doomed
This isn’t a technical debate — it’s a holy war. In this episode of Hell Money, we unpack the Knots drama, spam wars, and why filters don’t work, as well as the deeper moral and religious crusade beneath it all.
We explore:
- Policy vs. consensus, economic weight
- The Knots/Ocean Mining fight against spam
- Why Bitcoin filters don’t work (and never will)
- Luke Dashjr's spiritual quest
- Jack Dorsey is the real enemy
- Spam as moral crusade
- An open invitation for Luke Dashjr to join Hell Money and talk Bitcoin spirituality
