Does a fork like this align with Bitcoin’s values? If it can be achieved, then yes. That’s the anarchic consensus at work. That’s anarchism.

I completely understand not wanting elites to use their wealth and power to overshadow the use of this decentralized technology, but I’m pretty sure hard forking for any other reason besides compromise of the consensus by dishonest players is against the Bitcoin ethos.

Web2/Web3 developer and builder of grassroots decentralized culture and governance. Not a maximalist of any kind. Writing this as I go.

Dishonest as in just purely trying to game the Bitcoin protocol? Or just generally dishonest?

Dishonesty of the consensus, specifically. I can’t read Satoshi’s mind, but my understanding of the Bitcoin ethos is specifically that nobody has the power to spend money they don’t have or lie about who transacted what.

Now that nation states are adopting though, we really have the leverage to show them that this isn’t just tradfi 2.0
