They will do this far sooner than that. There will come a point where inflation will be such that only digital currency can dynamically scale to react to inflation via a Basic Universal Income in ways physical currency cannot. The ponzi will accelerate exponentially at some point it is inexorable.
Bitcoin Core is now renaming itself Bitcoin Citrea kind of like a race car driver with 2 million sponsors. This is what happens when the project gets derailed and this is why BIP-110 happened.
I am sitting back eating popcorn while watching. Fun times. You support devs that alienated 20% of the nodes on the network. They are still eroding trust in bitcoin and its maintainers and you actually think BIP110 makes any difference? We are loosing trust in the project itself and its maintainers wake up. That is what is going on.
Knots is the reference implementation.
But yeah, it's probably nothing. You can probably ignore BIP110 and bank on the centralized mining cartel ignoring it. They've got you, don't worry. You understand bitcoin perfectly and don't have a wake up call booked in for Aug 7th.
@w_s_bitcoin I don’t think a hard fork is the most likely outcome. In fact, once the surprise happens it will be obvious what the outcome will be. He views core’s direction as an existential threat. He is going to game theory the shit out of this. You underestimate him.
