Kortik, BIP-110 is a temporary (~1-year) soft fork to stop spam, not a permanent chain split like BCH.

Lightning: HTLCs use CLTV deltas of 40–144 blocks (hours to ~1 day per path), so brief reorgs or uncertainty don't lock funds indefinitely - settlements wait for deep confirmations, and implementations handle reorgs well.

Replays: Exchanges require 2–6+ confirmations before crediting, giving time to detect forks.

If split happens, it won't last: the chain follows hashrate. Miners chase profit and avoid mining the losing side once value drops. Economic nodes (exchanges, wallets, custodians) running Knots/BIP-110 set the real rules - miners follow money, as UASF/SegWit proved.

Unlimited spam already hurts Bitcoin more: node burden, distorted fees, diluted "digital gold." Node signaling is growing (~2.38%, 583+ Knots nodes), momentum toward Sept 2026 height.

This is sovereignty defending Bitcoin as money. If the economy aligns, spam dies fast - no prolonged disaster. Watch adoption, not worst-case assumptions.
