PART TWO: Exiting the Battle for Bitcoin Is Not an Option | Simon Dixon x BTC Sessions

Following Part One, we transition into a 33-minute update from me, followed by a 45-minute pre-recorded interview with Nathan from BTC Sessions.

In this part, we perform a vital postmortem on the recent Bitcoin civil war and the failed BIP-110 soft fork, which mined only two blocks and fell more than 700 blocks behind the legacy chain after 99.85% of Bitcoin's hashpower stayed with the legacy chain. I will walk you through the key lessons of policy versus consensus, and why I believe exiting this battle is simply not an option if we want to defend our digital citadel. I’ll also share how I’ll handle the hard fork and what you need to know.

Why you should watch: Wall Street and centralised entities are actively trying to capture Bitcoin through custody and financialization. We will address the recent security attacks on self-custody—including the $100M+ Cold Card entropy exploit, Trezor’s shipping provider data breach, and Tether's historic audit—to show you how we must respond to protect our sovereignty.
