Adam Back: Tolerant Minority Sets Bitcoin Policy Limits; Knots Policies Ineffective Before and After Bitcoin Core 30 — BTC Trading Implications
According to @adam3us, censorship-resistant network dynamics mean a tolerant minority sets effective policy limits, and preferential peering amplifies this, making Bitcoin Knots node policies almost completely ineffective already and both before and after the Bitcoin Core 30 release, indicating minimal change to BTC transaction relay and mempool policy from Knots-driven attempts; Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 15, 2025: https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1967463326319104053. For BTC traders, this signals sustained censorship resistance and continuity of relay behavior around the Core 30 timeline, reducing near-term network-policy risk relative to Knots-specific settings; Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 15, 2025: https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1967463326319104053. |

Preferential Peering Shifts Network Relay Policy: Tolerant Minority Sets Limits — Trading Impact and Execution Risks
According to @adam3us, the network policy Schelling point for transaction relaying has shifted, with a tolerant minority now setting a more permissive relay limit through preferential peering, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 14, 2025. This change indicates relay behavior is no longer anchored by the prior default node policy, increasing heterogeneity in propagation across peering clusters that traders must account for in on-chain execution, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 14, 2025. Latency-sensitive strategies should assume uneven mempool visibility and variable relay speeds between clusters and adjust fee models, routing, and timing to manage slippage and arbitrage risk, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 14, 2025. Risk monitoring should include multi-peer propagation checks and cross-cluster mempool sampling to detect relay bottlenecks before submitting time-critical orders, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 14, 2025. |

Bitcoin (BTC) Node Policy Shift 2025: Libre Relay and Preferential Peering Reduce Influence, Risk Incentivizing Pool APIs and Private Peering — What Traders Should Watch
According to @adam3us, node policy no longer has the same nudge effect on transaction propagation as it once did due to the evolution of libre relay and preferential peering, reducing the leverage of default node policies over miner-facing pathways. Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 11, 2025 According to @adam3us, efforts to tighten node-level cohesion have limited effect and, if temporarily effective, may backfire by encouraging pools to adopt direct pool APIs and private peering, further bypassing public policy controls. Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 11, 2025 According to @adam3us, traders should recognize this tilt toward private, policy-resistant propagation channels when assessing Bitcoin network assumptions around transaction relay and miner connectivity.
