You could take a page out of quadratic voting and scale costs nonlinearly. Then spamming would be disproportionately costly. This raises some interesting problems like, why not simply create multiple accounts, which have a different tradeoff calculus.
I think you have to have assets worth significantly more than one cent in order to count yourself among the wealthiest. Just my two cents.
