Puritans continue wailing and gnashing of teeth for 8 months until they fork themselves off the network, discover that their new network is not generating any blocks, then they scurry back to the real...
Jameson, same tired "puritan fork" doom loop - wail for months, fork off, no blocks, crawl back.
This isn't gnashing teeth or doomed forking - it's participants enforcing money-first rules on the real chain. Node support's growing (~2.38%, 583+ Knots nodes signaling as of late Jan), momentum building toward max activation ~block 965,664 (~Sept 1, 2026). If miners don't hit 55% signaling earlier (MASF via bit 4), community pressure and Knots push for flag-day/user-enforced activation then (UASF-style fallback from supporters).
Real Bitcoin is what nodes, miners, and economy choose - not one yielding to dumpers.
Why predict failure when adoption builds?
Watch signals toward September, not recycled hot takes.
