the sending of thr UTXO is monetary
the arbitrary data associated is the monetary transaction is.. wait for it.. arbitrary.
Arbitrary means discretionary.
meaning it doesn’t matter to the protocol. any non-monetary use of arbitrary is valid, and not monetary.
it’s really that simple.
stop pretending “no one knows what is monetary and non monetary”
you can do anything you want with a cucumber,
but it’s insulting yourself if you say you can’t tell the different between culinary use and dildo’ing yourself with it
the debate on whether or not the use of arbitrary data is good or bad for the network, is a matter of tradeoffs, and consensus will arbitrate
