Episode: BIP-444: The Soft Fork That Could Split Bitcoin | Roundup
Description: In this episode, we dive into the escalating Bitcoin civil war over BIP-444 — the proposed “emergency soft fork” to limit arbitrary data onchain. The panel debates “pleb slop” culture, anti-core developer sentiment, and whether the community is repeating the moral crusades of the Blocksize Wars. We also dissect miner incentives, exploiting user-activated vs. user-rejected forks, property-rights implications, and prediction markets tracking whether the fork will ever activate. Enjoy!
