I must be an Asshole Libertarian (because that's just kinda the way I am), but even lil ol moi thinks that security and health of the Bitcoin Ecosystem might require the occasional *tweak* now and then. As in my idea posted a couple of weeks or so ago re minimum BTC amounts (sayBTC0.001) and/or minimum fees (say, BTC0.0003) to fight off the spammers...
I don't mind paying a bit more for my BTC payment to go through. And, really, who needs micropayments? (Oh...., was that an ominous silence I just heard in here?)

(Hear you re getting rich programming if I could do really advanced calculations)
And this thinking would drive all the markets that infact need the bitcoin ecosystem, either to offchain solutions or cryptocurrencies with a lower fee.
I am talking about the unbanked and poor economies.
Bitcoin should want to include those who need it most for its own protection aka decentralization.
Who need it most?!
And Please dont tell me the "unbanked". They need
Those most in need are those who have to live with tariffs, regulations and currency controls. It includes people in poor countries. Look at Africa and the middle east, there is almost no trade between neighbouring countries, it is almost all import and export to the west.
That is pure fud if not bs, whatever you like.
Im not denying african's problems, but bitcoin is so not going to change anything there.
They need to get rid of corruption, access water, food, first necessity Goods, medicine, etc etc..
Why da f*ck would they need internet money? Seriously this is beyond utopia, this is nonsense. Not that it is good to care about them poor people, but you are obviously blurred by either greed or stupidity.
You have heard of m-pesa haven't you?
Did it ever occur to you that an African actually might want to use a phone to transmit magic virtual money?
yes i know mpesa. they did not waited for bitcoin to start their buisness.
