According to @BitMEXResearch, recent rhetoric comparing Bitcoin Core to the Chinese Communist Party mischaracterizes the current governance discussion and is very different from the historical blocksize war, reducing the validity of direct analogies to a 2017-style conflict, source: BitMEX Research, X, Aug 17, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, the post also references multiple historical Bitcoin client implementations (Bitcoin Core, BitcoinXT, Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin Unlimited, Knots), noting close relationships rather than clearly separate camps, which challenges claims of a binary developer split, source: BitMEX Research, X, Aug 17, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, the post cites no concrete activation path, miner signaling, or upgrade timetable, indicating no confirmed near-term catalyst for a contentious BTC hard fork based on the information presented, a point traders can use when evaluating fork-premium or volatility narratives, source: BitMEX Research, X, Aug 17, 2025.

According to @BitMEXResearch, some current rhetoric compares Bitcoin Core to the Chinese Communist Party, but the present situation is very different from the historical Blocksize War (source: @BitMEXResearch). @BitMEXResearch added that during the blocksize debate, Bitcoin Core, BitcoinXT, Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin Unlimited, and Knots were mostly written by the same contributors, highlighting overlapping development rather than a clean client split — a distinction BTC traders should factor into governance-related risk assessment (source: @BitMEXResearch).
