Saylor: Bitcoin's Greatest Threat Comes from Within, Not External Forces

Michael Saylor says that Bitcoin's biggest threat comes from within, specifically from changes to its consensus rules. This view is contrary to his previous concerns about governments and regulators.

According to Saylor, changing Bitcoin's rules would weaken the network's long-term security, potentially driving capital away and slowing innovation. He argues that prolonged disputes over protocol upgrades could prevent Bitcoin from reaching its full potential.

The current debate surrounds BIP-110, a proposed temporary soft fork designed to restrict certain types of data stored on the blockchain for about one year. However, Saylor disagrees with this approach, stating that it would amount to changing the network's economic rules rather than simply reducing spam.
