🚨 Bitcoin Core v30 creates legal risks that most stakeholders don't understand yet. 18% of nodes already switched to Knots. The network is defending itself. Here's what's happening 👇 https://t.co/nkABKiMLfc

When 22% of your network rebels against a software update, you have a governance problem.

Bitcoin recent price dip brought price close to production cost. With hashrate now at ~1.1 ZH/s, will new miners keep coming online?

Bitcoin Core v30 crossed a line. Removing the 83-byte OP_RETURN limit is moral surrender. Now 21% of nodes run Knots. A soft fork might be coming. More importantly, the community is already here. https://t.co/7G6Ew1R6gw #Bitcoin

Et nous en poserons encore !😂

Earlier this year, @_MattHill_ warned of a potential soft fork in the absence of a satisfactory resolution to the policy debate. This is seeming more likely by the day. Node runners should pay attention. https://t.co/Rft5pk5Xxb

Bitcoin price now: - Around production cost (electricity + hw) - Very close to long term trend support. - sentiment: Extreme Fear 😨 Historically these have been good times to buy. Will price hold the support floor level $103K? I’d say yes. Let’s see.

- Fear & Greed at 28: Fear😰 - Bitcoin network doing very well though: hashrate near ATH🤷‍♂️ Who’s buying the dip?

Bitcoin node update: Day 4 of Core v30 📊 Core v30: - Monday: 266 nodes - Today: 837 nodes Bitcoin Core overall surge: - Last week: ~75K nodes - Today: 91,673 nodes Knots: Stable at ~14K What's driving the Core surge?

🌐 On the clearnet side: Knots share: 11.4% Knots overall (Tor + clearnet): ~21% of all listening nodes #Bitcoin #Knots #Tor

🔒 64% of Bitcoin listening nodes run over Tor (~15K). How does Knots perform there? • Knots v29.1 is the #1 client on Tor🥇 • Knots share among Tor nodes -> 27% data source: https://t.co/Num1ZxiFH4

Bitcoin is Digital Truth.

What triggered the Core jump? Data source: @LukeDashjr comprehensive node tracker Charts:

Bitcoin node data showing two very different patterns 📊 Knots (orange): Steady organic growth over 5 months - May: ~3,000 nodes - Now: 13,955 nodes Core (blue): Flat for months, then sudden spike in early Oct - Sept: ~75K-78K nodes - Oct: 85K+ nodes (+~10K in days)

Is There Consensus For A Bitcoin Soft Fork?

Core trend on the other hand has been declining slowly, except in the last few weeks which begs the question: Who’s suddenly feeling the urge to setup Core nodes? 🤔

Steady increase of Knots node in the last 6 months. Adding 600-700 new nodes/month.

Context: Yesterday saw the LARGEST liquidation event in crypto history - ~$10B in positions wiped out - 1.5M traders liquidated - BTC crashed from $117k → $102k (briefly) - Now battling back around $113k Saturday volume = market still digesting the shock

Bitcoin spot volume at ~$200B today 👀 Potentially 2nd highest day in BTC history. What's wild: It's Saturday and volume is STILL elevated after yesterday's Trump tariff selloff. Cascade liquidations continuing or something else?

Knots above 21% the same day core v30 is released 👀 A sign? Knots becoming the new Bitcoin reference implementation
