Stating the obvious. Bitcoin is a financial network, not a general-purpose data store. Storing large files like images directly on-chain is inefficient and a form of spam. A better pattern is to store a small pointer on-chain (e.g., CID) and host the file off-chain ... via IPFS, torrents, Blossom, or other distributed systems. Using block space responsibly helps preserve Bitcoin's long-term utility. Storing large files directly should be discouraged.
