Burning curiosity: why tack on all the extra stuff onto the chain?
Is it supposed to be a use case or a monetary transfer protocol?
Before you ask about any false dichotomy, consider why merging the two would be better than having just two independent systems.
Sure, why should you be able to 'post' anything for free ? Isn't that one of the Major flaws of the Internet we know? (> Spam, fake , trolling ,...)
If you can attach value ( yes - also micro-values) for sending and receiving Content - we agree this Content gets a new Quality and by pay for publishing it / storing it (not fully on-chain - depends ...)
and using it (paywall, tipping = liking) all the Internet activites will have real monetary value - this is how e-comerce will be properly enabled and distributed globally and ppl can earn money for e-work and trade.
All via the same ledger - minimzed any frictions to trade / interact P2P
So e-money / e-cash has real use
So Bitcoin was designed to do that - compliant with any law on the planet / Transparency of BitCoin is a Feature that ENABLES trust. Annonymous shit never did
