I think this can actually explain a lot of past hard fork dynamics. Without an explicitly agreed process for agreement, people have to predict the implicit process that others are most likely to agree on and resort to. (1/7) https://social.that.world/@wei/106336302936496207
This is why in the past hard fork dynamics, Bitcoin2x didn't happen; Ethereum Classic, as well as Bitcoin Cash and later Bitcoin SV have to resort to different tickers. You can also use the same guideline to predict the outcome of the "EIP-1559 vs. miners" war. (3/7)
Many of the past hard fork dynamics are depicted as coin holders vs. miners, but if you look closely, a more accurate assessment would be developers vs. an opposing party. (4/7)
