RE: We have ZERO FEES, but what if you got 0.00000001 SBD/STEEM/SP When you sent tokens?
Nothing is free in this world. someone is paying for it.

Agree :-)
the blockchain is paying for it, fresh coins.
Which means that existing users who choose not to participate in meaningless transaction spamming see their share of the market cap diluted, so they are still paying for it.
Existing users might also lose their ability to use the blockchain. It almost seems like there should be a minuscule fee to prevent malicious spammers from trying to crash it.
Well, we have bandwidth, but we can see that it creates some problems. I'm sure they're going to try more novel approaches in future HF's.
While you're right @hackerwhacker, we have a lot of people who think things can be free and are willing to test that by passing off the costs to others. I think @fyrstikken's idea is interesting, just one I'm not partial to. I still think it's worth looking at though, like the post shows, Think Different, if for no other reason than to challenge our perspective on things.
