  • Decent podcast. BTW, Mark Cohodes was onto FTX at least six months before it failed. He presented his findings to Hedgeye Clients around 2 weeks before everything went Tango Uniform...

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why BIP110 Won’t Change Bitcoin | Mr Hodl & Wicked
Q: How does this compare to SegWit activation?
SegWit had overwhelming support (near 95% signaling) and activation occurred smoothly; Bip110's threshold is much lower, but lacks similar broad backing, making it a fragile and risky proposition.
Why BIP110 Won’t Change Bitcoin | Mr Hodl & Wicked
Q: What would happen if Bip110 actually activated?
They argue it would trigger a major chain split, require replay protection or other adjustments, and could force miners to realign; but they view this outcome as highly unlikely given the weak signaling and economic disincentives.
Who Really Controls Bitcoin? | Bitcoin Mechanic
Q: Do you think miners will actually push back or embrace the change if it reaches activation height?
He believes miners may ambivalently participate, but the decision will hinge on whether broader ecosystem actors, including smaller stakeholders, align to resist or enable the fork; the dynamics mirror past soft-fork wars.
Who Really Controls Bitcoin? | Bitcoin Mechanic
Q: What would happen if 55% signaling is not reached and a user-activated soft fork is deployed anyway?
The guest explains that success depends on broader consensus; if not enough participants support it, the chain risks becoming unstable or regressing to a state where enforcement differs across the network, potentially leading to a fork scenario.
Who Really Controls Bitcoin? | Bitcoin Mechanic
Q: Why now, after months of discussion, is this Bitcoin 10 proposal being pushed?
The guest argues the timing is driven by ongoing debates about how to balance security, data storage, and scalability, and by a belief that temporary, capped changes could stabilize the system while preserving core principles.
