BIP-110 fork mines two blocks then stops amid thin volume
Lead story · bitcoin — Controversial Bitcoin fork BIP-110 mines two blocks, then stops (CoinDesk)
V. Outlook
Bitcoin's protocol just endured a live test fork under BIP-110 that mined two blocks before halting, exposing how lightly supported rule changes can still surface without broad miner backing. This episode sits against thin trading and steady exchange inflows that keep distribution risk alive even as MVRV offers little cushion. The network itself shows no distress yet registers only baseline participation, while macro yields and gold prices trace a dollar that has eased without resolving underlying energy or inflation frictions. The open issue is whether any single incremental sell or protocol flare can break the low-conviction range before the next difficulty adjustment.
