Amid escalating debate over Bitcoin network governance, Blockstream CEO Adam Back warned that forcing the activation of the BIP-110 proposal could lead to a network fork. The proposal, a user-activated soft fork (UASF), aims to restrict non-monetary data in transactions to reduce spam. According to reports from BeInCrypto and Coinpedia, Back cautioned that this approach could create a minority fork, raising concerns about network stability.
The warnings come at a time of volatility in the crypto market, with market data showing Bitcoin trading near $61400.83 (close of June 9, 2026). The proposal has divided the developer community between those who see spam reduction as necessary and those who view forced changes as a threat to decentralization. No official statements have yet been issued by other key developers such as Luke Dashjr or Pieter Wuille.
