Giacomo Zucco, director of Plan ₿ Network, said the failed BIP-110 fork became an "educational" case study in how hard it would be to recreate Bitcoin's early conditions under today's social, market and coordination pressures. BIP-110, backed by longtime Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr to change Bitcoin's consensus rules and curb what supporters saw as spam, drew little support and split into a separate chain with only a small fraction of Bitcoin's hash power. Zucco said the breakaway chain initially stalled after two blocks and had reached four blocks by the time of the interview, while Dashjr was still trying to keep it alive, including by attempting to change its proof-of-work algorithm. After the fork failed, heavy data-filled Bitcoin block 962266 became a flashpoint in the wider argument over whether Bitcoin should restrict NFT inscriptions and custom scripts or remain neutral if users pay market fees. Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz argued that fee markets, not social judgments about which transactions belong on-chain, should allocate scarce blockspace. Zucco also said a "moral panic" around claims that illegal material on-chain created urgent legal risks helped accelerate support for the fork, and he criticized Dashjr's removal as a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor after a developer vote as a move that could reinforce claims that Bitcoin development had become centralized.
