LoL, that's the best you've got?
"In many contexts" people were lining up to get the jab. Some even made it a huge part of their persona and went on moral crusades - just like BIP110 supporters.
B...
First off. We do not encourage people to make BIP 110 their identity. Nor do we endorse making covid vaccines, or even bitcoin an identity either. This is tribalism, and is much worse in core. Core is a literal cult in which selected maintainers were dating John Newbury of Brink, and other devs were chosen based on race and DEI instead of actual merit.
You also included two new fallacies. Let’s go.
Appeal to Fear: “risking a chain split” — BIP-110 is a soft fork. Soft forks are backward compatible. Non-enforcing nodes stay on the same chain. No chain split occurs unless non-enforcing nodes mine invalid blocks. That’s not how soft forks work. SegWit was a soft fork. Taproot was a soft fork. This is not new territory.
Poisoning the Well: knotslies.com is not a neutral technical source. It is named after its conclusion. Citing it as evidence is like citing pepsi.com to prove Coke tastes bad.
“Virtually no benefit” — inscription spam bloating the chain, increasing node costs, and competing with payments for block space is not a manufactured problem.
Your node. Your rules. The chain decides.
