According to @adam3us, any willingness to make contentious changes to non-consensus rules in the Bitcoin network without humility could lead to similar attempts on core consensus rules, increasing the risk of a chain split. For traders, this scenario may result in the creation of two separate coins and severe price volatility, as the value of the new forked coin could drop to zero. Monitoring developer discussions and governance proposals is critical for risk management and anticipating sudden market disruptions (source: @adam3us on Twitter).
