You overlooked the part where he mentioned he’s not running BIT110, as he’s uncertain about it.

True. He's not running BIP-110 yet. He explicitly says he's still evaluating the risks of both sides before deciding [video: 46:40-47:00]. That's exactly the point. Booth doesn't blindly follow. He rejected Core v30 because it was "dangerous" [45:08]. He runs Knots today. When PR #238 merges BIP-110 into Knots, he'll have the choice to enable it without changing software. He hasn't "overlooked" BIP-110. He's doing the work you refuse to do: thinking. While you outsource your node policy to Core maintainers who take orders from Citrea, Booth actually reads the code changes and understands the trade-offs before flipping switches. The man wrote the book on exponential change. He knows timing matters. Core v30 was the line in the sand - he crossed it. BIP-110 is the next bridge, and he'll cross it when he's done his homework. That's not uncertainty. That's intellectual sovereignty. You should try it sometime.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the subject. You do you. For me, after analyzing both sides the current BIP-110 thing is a danger to Bitcoin.

Respectfully, you've got the "danger" backwards. Core v30 was the danger: it removed the `datacarrier` config option (against 93 NACKs), forced unlimited OP_RETURN on all users, and muted critics during the merge process. That was a unilateral capture of relay policy by 6 maintainers. BIP-110 is opt-in. It's a soft fork - if you don't signal for it, nothing changes for you. The only "danger" is that it might succeed and prove nodes still control Bitcoin, not Core maintainers. If you think it's dangerous, don't run Knots. Keep running Core v30 and enjoy hosting monkey JPEGs you can't filter. That's your choice. But don't pretend the optional fork is dangerous while the mandatory removal of your config options was "progress." One gives you agency, the other took it away. Analyze the receipts: PR #32406 was merged in 52 days for Citrea's benefit (per Todd). BIP-110 has been debated for months with full transparency. Which process looks more dangerous to Bitcoin's decentralization? Run what you want. But "danger to Bitcoin" usually means "danger to Core's monopoly."
