From Self Custody to Shareholders
summary
Argues that miners aren't in charge of consensus, showing BIP 110 stalled because exchanges and fee‑paying users withheld economic weight and six months of effort produced little change; recommends a low‑stakes community soft‑fork drill before a real split over quantum arrives. Describes treasury companies losing roughly half their paper value after buying high, notes economic nodes matter (transactions and fees decide chain value), and flags AI drafting BIPs and fuzz‑testing as an immediate toolchain shift.
