What happened differently that there are no threats or signs of forking?
Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, and Bitcoin Gold have already proven that while copying Bitcoin’s code is easy, copying its network and the trust built around it is impossible. The market has also given its verdict.
Meanwhile, instead of splitting Bitcoin, builders have turned their focus toward Layer-2 and sidechains. Forking is no longer seen as a solution — it feels more like a distraction.
I like this point of view. I'm working on a sidechain just being cautious.
