Blockstream CEO Adam Back said on June 8 that BIP-110 is technically flawed and warned that forcing its activation could split Bitcoin into a minority fork. According to BeInCrypto, BIP-110 would restrict non-monetary data in Bitcoin transactions via a user-activated soft fork (UASF) that bypasses miner consensus, but Back said it “doesn’t work” and lacks technical and ecosystem backing, rejecting comparisons to SegWit’s 2017 activation. Michael Saylor separately flagged BIP-110 as a protocol threat, calling it Bitcoin’s biggest self-inflicted risk.
