Where I Stand on BIP-110: The Battle for Bitcoin Nobody Wants to Name

This is Part One of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE (25 July 2026)

Hey hey sovereign wealth builders,

It has been an incredibly fast-moving week across the Bitcoin landscape. While I am currently deep in book-writing mode for my upcoming book. I’m working on chapters regarding the historical infiltration attempts around sovereign assets, the global chess board continues to shift rapidly.

In my view, we are witnessing a coordinated effort by the financial industrial complex (the FIC) to institutionalize and capture the Bitcoin ecosystem. From sudden institutional delays to high-profile executive shakeups and corporate consortia forming under the guise of security, the traditional financial architecture is aggressively positioning itself. This is not a time for panic, but a time for high-signal, sovereign analysis.

Today’s Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE episode and the interview premiere immediately following it, are designed to give you the perspective needed to navigate this transition.

PART ONE: Where I Stand on BIP-110: The Battle for Bitcoin Nobody Wants to Name

We are currently in the middle of what I believe is Bitcoin's next major consensus debate, fueled by the ongoing technical and philosophical "spam war". Much like the block size wars of 2017, this debate is driving deep tribalism and division within the developer and mining communities.

In this live segment, I will explain exactly where I stand on BIP-110 and why I am actively supporting it on my own node.

In my view, we are seeing a manufactured "strategy of tension"—reminiscent of historical intelligence frameworks like Operation Gladio—designed to divide the community and drive users away from self-custody and into corporate wrappers.

I will break down the game theory, the technical escalation ladder, and my specific stop-point on that ladder. This is a critical discussion on why holding your own keys and running your own node remains Bitcoin's absolute ultimate defense against institutional capture.
