Firstly, it's crucial to note that Bitcoin and especially Bitcoin Cash, with its 220-byte OP_RETURN and 32MB block size, have been historically leveraged for various use-cases beyond just a currency already. - Proof-of-existence (PoE), timestamping, and other projects like Memo.cash, to name a few.
Bcash is a joke not a currency. A copycat coin with nothing of value to offer. It can and should be used for storing arbitrary data, but that can not be extended to Bitcoin which is a currency.
There are a lot of other shitcoins that are designed to store arbitrary data and used for it too like bcashsv (the copy of the copy of bitcoin) which is a centralized shitcoin that is used to store very large files.
I want to clarify unequivocally: the goal of AIDIOS is not to turn Bitcoin into a data warehouse/cloud storage on any level!. Instead, it's about harnessing the blockchain's innate attributes to store a slightly more enriched set of data. When I say "enriched," I'm referring to, perhaps, an extra 1KB.
That's the same thing using different words. Bitcoin blockchain is a ledger to store records of monetary transfers not arbitrary data. Whether it is 1 byte or 1 kB is not going to change that.
The term "arbitrary" can be misleading. What might seem arbitrary to one may hold immense value to another.
It is arbitrary when it is stored in the Bitcoin blockchain. There are other cryptocurrencies that are designed to store data (Filecoin is an example of one) and should be used to do that. Then it won't be considered "arbitrary data".
Right now, many do it to support the network or facilitate mining. But as we progress, we must explore other avenues of incentives.
Everything is working fine with bitcoin and the network is sufficiently decentralized with no concerns in the foreseeable future. We should not spam the chain today all based on a guess that there may be some problems in the future for users running nodes!
Not to mention that such spam is making bitcoin harder to use. Look at what Ordinals Attack did to bitcoin fees.
or where the world turns to a decentralised, immutable ledger for verifiable facts.
As Satoshi once said and I'm paraphrasing: "Not all utilities need to be offered by Bitcoin".
For example once people were arguing that Bitcoin should be used as a DNS lookup. But why should it all be in Bitcoin? Why not create a different project? That is when Namecoin was created...
