An interesting problem with the Core vs Knots debate is that what the Knots side really want is a consensus level change to prevent "spam" from being allowed in blocks entirely; but they can't change consensus unilaterally So even if, say, 70% of nodes folks ran Knots it wouldn't really make any difference 'cos any mining pool that doesn't pledge themselves to the Bitcoin religion (e.g. Mara) will happily accept inscriptions as valid transactions, which the Knots nodes will also have to consent are valid after they've been mined in a block For now it looks like Core is going to try to push ahead and hope that Knots drama dies down, which it might. It might also further galvanise the zealots and motivate them to initiate the fork they deep down actually want though The fork strategy is very risky of course, 'cos if you lose you fork yourself off the network (see BCH), but if it were ever going to work it would probably start out with the narrative of...

… "Core has been captured by WEF shitcoiners, this is the second fork war, and you as a good BTC pleb must run Knots to save Bitcoin!" While this probably wouldn't work, because the large economic nodes (miners and exchanges) have every reason to support Core over Knots, the social coordination required can be very messy and Core have demonstrated repeatedly that they're pretty tone deaf to what's motivating the zealots All of this demonstrates that the Bitcoin culture, which is so much of what makes BTC valuable, is cooked. There isn't internal unity or vision on what the protocol even is! (Wait, isn't that Ethereum? - Nope, Core thinks Bitcoin is a database, while Knots thinks it's money) But what's more, there's a community division brewing that can only be definitively resolved by a fork/chain split I think if things keep trending this way the BTC price will keep going up forever Laura until the underlying health of the network (social and technical) has degraded so much that it starts to collapse
