If there is a soft fork in #bitcoin and transactions are made, then miners will mine the blocks, and nodes will verify. The longest timechain continues.

If someone else comes along with another soft fork, but their soft fork doesn’t include the newest upgrades, then that is actually a hard fork.

Unlike the blocksize wars, it’s possible this hard fork could pump very quickly. BlackRock has already said if the chain splits, they may not choose the "real Bitcoin".

I’m worried we might be put to this test soon, and our desire for fiat will battle against our love of freedom.

Please don’t fork off of Bitcoin 🙏🏻

Maybe certain factions shouldn’t be pushing through an extremely controversial soft fork in the first place, increasing the risk for a situation like this 🤷‍♂️

I get that, but I see a MASF as a sort of separation of powers. There are people who want drivechains, and the miners are the only option.

Otherwise, complete control belongs to the Core developers. Namely a handful of people who have authority to merge code.

Getting mass consensus when Michael Saylor shares videos with verifiably false information is not an easy task.
