True. Lots of plebs not doing homework and digging into the concerns , issues, and problems with CORE changes made. and motivations - logic of bip 110

It was supported by all the cool kids so there was no reputation risk. The whole knots/110 episode is revealing how important conformity is to certain people.
bip148 had consensus, there was no chain split
consensus can only be directionally estimated prior to fork, which is what makes coordinating forks difficult if the goal is to avoid a chain split
after a fork it is obvious whether there was consensus
my expectation is bip110 is well short and there will be a chain split
i said as much higher in the thread
And they told you that BIP148 was a minority soft fork.
and it wasnt because there was no chain split
no need to debate shit, we will find out in a month
The history is not forgotten.

The game theory buddy.
Bitcoin nodes / Bitcoin node runners define what Bitcoin is. We do it, the Bitcoin node runners. Miners must create Bitcoin compliant blocks but its the Bitcoin nodes that enforce the Bitcoin rules.
If Bitcoiners want Bitcoin to become shitcoin full of spam and centralized just like Ethereum and Solana it will happen.
But if Bitcoiners want Bitcoin to continue be Freedom Money - THE Global Most Secure Decentralized Unconfiscatable Peer-to-Peer Scarce Hard Sovereign Permissionless Freedom Money, The Greatest Store of Value and The Strongest Hope for Humanity then it will happen despite all the attacks from governments and agencies.
We need to hold the line with BIP-110.
If few miners that are controlled by governments decide what Bitcoin is then Bitcoin is already centralized and they can do whatever they want - increase the 21 Million limit, increase block size, centralize it more and more, ban certain transactions.
But its the nodes that enforce the rules.
You can read this part or better the whole artcile from the start.

Here you can read why Bitconi nodes are enforcing the rules.
