#BIP110SoftForkAttemptBegins ⚡ BIP-110: Bitcoin’s Soft-Fork Experiment Just Got Real
Bitcoin has crossed block 961,632, marking the start of the mandatory signaling window for BIP-110.
And this is where the debate gets serious.
BIP-110 proposes limiting certain non-financial data in Bitcoin transactions for roughly a year—affecting use cases such as Ordinals, BRC-20 and Runes.
Supporters argue that Bitcoin’s block space should prioritize payments and monetary use.
Critics argue that restricting what users can put onchain is effectively censorship through protocol rules.
The biggest problem?
⛏️ Miner support has reportedly remained extremely low, while BIP-110's voluntary signaling phase failed to build enough support.
Now comes the more controversial option:
User-activated enforcement.
If enough nodes enforce BIP-110 while miners continue following the existing rules, Bitcoin could face a chain-split scenario.
That is the risk traders should be watching.
⚠️ Two competing chains
⚠️ Exchange confusion
⚠️ Liquidity fragmentation
⚠️ Increased BTC volatility
The proposed enforcement point is around block 965,664, roughly early September.
So the bigger question isn't simply:
“Will BIP-110 pass?”
It's:
> Who ultimately gets to decide what Bitcoin's block space is for—miners, developers, or users?
Bitcoin's scaling debate may be turning into a consensus test. 👀
