This is the question I am left with too Why dont they just course correct #haiku #haikustr

That's what they should do, bip 110 could wipe out the spam chain if they fuck around and think plebs don't matter

I believe for the same reason they let it escalate so much without having talks and debating before this became a normie topic with fans football side instead of people having a discourse about ideas, problems and solutions.. The reason is unknown, but we should look at the incentives probably of both sides, but this is and would even more take as far from the actual topic and discussion about the idea/problem itself. It's a theatre.

At least one of the reasons is because they are concerned that reputational damage to Core would lead to protocol fragility.

Fragility in the short term would be acceptable if catastrophic scenarios can be overwhelmingly mitigated.

Money and/or EGO. They took @ODELL VC money or they don’t want to look bad. But not realizing the mistake makes them look even worse. They are toast. They clearly think they control Bitcoin. And they just shot themselves in the foot.
