In this episode, I unpack the claim that BIP-110’s failure proves corporate miners and suitcoiners now control Bitcoin. I walk through the real dynamics between miners and validating nodes, compare BIP-110 to the UASF, and explain why broad consensus is strictly required to change Bitcoin’s rules. Ultimately, BIP-110’s failure actually confirms Bitcoin’s defensive power structure rather than undermining it.
