If bitcoin does fork in February, whoever buys the most btc in the following week(s) gets to decide which fork wins, so probably Blackrock.

Not really
Institutions anyway, with blackrock being a major player.

Yep.
Been applying game theory to the whole concept of the Trump Administration, El Salvador, Amazon, Blackrock, Fidelity and Strategy evaluating their attitude toward CSAM. I'm thinking, they'll avoid it. They will prefer keeping Bitcoin monetary in nature.
The entire CSAM and spam debate is a circle jerk among irrelevant narcissists, no one outside of the circle jerk gives a fuck.
The big boys with access to the money printer will call the shots (this cycle) and do what suits their agenda, whatever that is. My bet is they will take the safest and most conservative approach: don't change anything at the consensus level.
"don't change anything at the consensus level." meaning reject Core v30 ? Maxing out OP_RETURN is a massive change and sorta turns Bitcoin into BSV. Spamchain city !
That isn't consensus level
CSAM took down BSV which engineered the SAME EXACT CHANGE.
Not a totally invalid point. But there's been CSAM in bitcoin longer than BSV has existed, and BSV blocks are huge so you can actually put a serious amount of content in there. They explicitly changed a lot at the consensus level (not just op return) to build some kind of social network or something on top of it.
Last but not least, I think the major contributing factor to BSV being a shitshow has very little to do with CSAM and everything to do with the fact that it's a retarded shitcoin created by a psychopath and compulsive liar.
Completely agree. None of the 444 people will even engage in a futures market to defend their stance. Tells me all I need to know about where economic power is going to live.
