If people are serious about wanting to limit spam. They should just build consensus around a fork to reduce block size.

All the BTC two year gain occurred at the launch of the ETFs. Flat or down since. Two year bear market about to end.....

ODELL contentious SOFTFORK scenario • Clip by @mccoy • Listen on Fountain

Clipped from Rabbit Hole Recap • RABBIT HOLE RECAP #381: BITCOIN IS THE BEST MONEY https://rhr.tv/stream - update your mints https://primal.net/...

@ODELL can you explain/expand on this? "...specifically, one of the dynamics at play in this type of softfork scenario is that the softforked chain is restricting rules: they are reducing what you can spend. So anything mined on the softforked chain is still valid on the non-softfork chain. So theoretically at any point that chain could then reorg the other chain unless there was something actively done to prevent that reorg." which chain reorgs which one? what is actually done to *prevent* the reorg?

A contentious soft fork can become "User-Activated" (UASF). *Economic nodes* (exchanges, wallets, payment processors) would need to build rough consensus and PRE-COMMIT to enforcing the new rules by a specific date, regardless of miner signaling If successful contentious softfork avoided

Wen polymarket for a softfork chain split?

Polymarket could play a large role in a contentious soft fork. It creates a market without having to list both coins at the exchanges.

The relationship between bitcoin versus regulators / law-enforcement, is far more nuanced than saying: "If somebody does something illegal on Bitcoin, then unbounded criminal liability attaches to everyone who's running a node or mining bitcoin."
