Macro forces influence the big players more than the humble stackers, but this is something impacting Bitcoiners, and I wonder how many are unsure.&#xA;A fork is spoken about as either a threatening event to be avoided at all costs, or a solution to a problem, from either side. Not many people explain what actually happens if it comes, and it seems like a tension between choosing what you believe is right and betting on what you think the majority will choose as the main Bitcoin. &#xA;If I understand the history right, in other times the people pushing a change forked off, but here, the maintainers of Bitcoin Core itself have initiated the contentious change. So if there&#39;s a fork, it&#39;s harder to say which side would be splintering off - the main implementation changing Bitcoin&#39;s uses, or the alternatives keeping it as money. Running Knots, not upgrading Core, changing settings, or choosing BIP110 are ways people are showing their stance, but we don&#39;t know if it means helping decide the right path forward for Bitcoin or getting kicked off into some minority spinoff that tries to keep Satoshi&#39;s Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash but lacks the strength of the main network. &#xA;To make it even more complicated, there&#39;s debate over what even makes the difference - nodes, miners, or both, and whether the balance of power has gone off track.&#xA;How do we defend this solution we know is so powerful in solving the world&#39;s problems, without damaging its value or splitting it into things it shouldn&#39;t be? Is a fork inevitable? What happens if it comes? &#xA;&#xA;#fork #BTC #BIP110 #asknostr &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
