Bitcoin faces biggest governance dispute in years as BIP-110 raises chain split fears

Bitcoin is facing its biggest governance dispute in years ahead of the blockchain reaching block height 961,632, as debate spreads over BIP-110, a proposal to limit non-financial data in transactions. Supporters say it protects Bitcoin’s original purpose and reduces node costs. Opponents question the push process and warn enforcement without broad economic consensus could fuel a minority chain split and raise censorship concerns.
