Bitcoin's decentralized consensus mechanism ensures that changes requiring thousands of independent operators to opt-in will not proceed without genuine network agreement
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (3 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
Still mostly niche and specialist coverage — not yet picked up broadly by mainstream press.
""With only 2.6% miner signaling, BIP-110 has failed to earn broad miner support," Saylor wrote on X. "At block 961,632, its nodes will reject non-signaling blocks. BIP-110 will then stall or fork into irrelevance while Bitcoin continues normally. Bitcoin is working as designed.""
"BIP-110 has now failed to reach a 55% threshold and can never reach such a threshold! BIP-110 failed and it will now spin off. The BIP-110 soft fork proposed by Bitcoin has not been successful in gaining the necessary support from the community as some well-known Bitcoin supporters like Michael Saylor, Adam Back and JAN3 CEO Samson Mow are strongly against it."
"Bitcoin's resistance to change is not written down anywhere, but is the product of thousands of independent operators who each have to opt in as a means of consensus. Bitcoin changes only when the network agrees to run the change, and on the evidence so far, it will not run this one."
