BCH was a clean hard fork. There was no wipeout risk for the BTC chain if the BCH chain became longer. BIP110 is a chain divergence and BIP110 chain coins are valid on the legacy chain, but the opposite isn’t true. In theory the BIP110 can exist for months or years along the legacy chain, and presuming blocks are still added on the bip110 chain, the longer this divergence persists, the higher the risk of wipeout becomes for the legacy chain.

i am not sure that is correct. a few spammy blocks and bip110 chain work diverges enough. guaranteed there is thousands of hipster monkey jpg all ready to go. 12% of the chain will diverge. that is only hours. this is why i have been saying the missing schnorr signature with hashed address changes the balance. spammy blocks have lower fees. removing the witnss discount would bias bip110 chain fee payload even more. but everyone has been persuaded to accept antispam mempool filtering instead of a more compact quantum resistant schnorr signature. the disabling of uasf is right at the bottom. and no elimination of witness discount. it is a trojan horse to protect their golden goose. spam is just a smokescreen for bitvm
