According to @adam3us, features that are not consensus-enforceable or incentive-compatible tend to fail over time, so the intuition that “anything we can program” will work is unreliable for crypto networks (Source: Adam Back (@adam3us) on X, Aug 31, 2025, https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1962089665961542125). For BTC traders evaluating catalysts, treat proposals relying on off-chain social norms, miner/user altruism, or behaviors that nodes cannot enforce at the consensus layer as high implementation-risk and low durability until they are redesigned to be enforced by consensus or aligned by incentives (Source: Adam Back (@adam3us) on X, Aug 31, 2025, https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1962089665961542125; Source: Bitcoin Developer Guide on consensus rules, https://developer.bitcoin.org/devguide/; Source: Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, 2008, https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf). As a trading filter, flag catalysts tied to non-enforceable features as higher uncertainty and assign greater confidence to those implemented via consensus-rule changes such as soft forks or to designs that are incentive-compatible (Source: Adam Back (@adam3us) on X, Aug 31, 2025, https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1962089665961542125; Source: Bitcoin Developer documentation on soft forks and consensus, https://developer.bitcoin.org/devguide/).
