I watched the 2017 Bitcoin Cash fork from the sidelines. What I see today with BIP-110 is eerily familiar.
After that split, something toxic hardened into the chains. Many BCH and BSV supporters still despise Bitcoiners. They insist their fork is the real Bitcoin and dismiss everyone else as captured, compromised, or paid off. Their echo chamber confirmed their beliefs so thoroughly that disagreement became proof of corruption.
The same thing is happening right now as a new Shitcoin is being formed. The same slander. The same personal attacks. The same absolute certainty that the minority chain is righteous and everyone else is the enemy. It's the EXACT same.
Bitcoin needs passionate disagreement. What it doesn't need is another decade of tribal warfare while the actual adversaries of freedom gain ground.
We should be building. We should be fighting the real enemy.
