#bip110forksignalingexpectedthisweekend 🚨 Bitcoin is approaching a major consensus test as BIP-110 signaling is expected to begin this weekend. BIP-110 is a proposed Bitcoin soft fork focused on restricting certain forms of non-financial data in Bitcoin blocks, including uses associated with inscriptions, Ordinals and Runes. The activation threshold is significant: supporters need roughly 55% of blocks in the signaling window — 1,109 of 2,016 blocks — to signal for the proposal to move forward. But current miner support remains far below that level. That means the bigger issue may not be activation itself, but the possibility of a chain split if a minority group enforces BIP-110 while the broader Bitcoin network continues following the existing rules. ⚠️ There is also a potential replay risk around forked coins. Users should be extremely cautious when moving or selling assets associated with a potential fork until the chain situation and replay protection are clear. This weekend could therefore become an important test of Bitcoin's consensus process. The real question is not simply where BTC trades. It is which rules the Bitcoin network ultimately agrees to follow. $TUT $LAB $BANK
