The last battle has been lost, and it is sad to see that the anti-spam movement is now divided into two groups. One group wants to hard fork the chain, and the other wants to continue to defend the existing chain with the available means such as decentralized mining and filtering. The latter seems slower but more realistic, as it is almost impossible to overcome existing network effects. The situation in the bitcoin space may change rapidly, and bad actors may disqualify themselves. Mt. Gox, FTX, etc., are gone; the same may apply to Saylor & Co. With dying sponsors like Coinkite, their supported sinfluencers will disappear as well. In a couple of years, the situation may look different.
