But the technical proposal quickly became something much bigger — a philosophical battle over Bitcoin's identity, governance and decentralization. In this episode, we examine: • What BIP-110 actually proposed and why it was created • How SegWit and Taproot helped enable the explosion of on-chain data • Why supporters viewed inscriptions as spam and a threat to Bitcoin's decentralization • Why opponents argued that Bitcoin must remain neutral and permissionless • The debate between sound-money purists and protocol-neutrality advocates • How a User-Activated Soft Fork (UASF) could challenge miner influence • Why Bitcoin Core developers and other major figures opposed the activation strategy • The economic risks facing miners if block-space demand changes • What a contentious chain split could mean for exchanges and wallets • Replay risk and the operational nightmare of managing two competing chains • How Bitcoin ETFs, institutional investors and sovereign holders could be affected • The potential regulatory implications of proving that Bitcoin can coordinate transaction filtering • How AI-generated content a…","meta_description":"Who Really Controls Bitcoin?
