I was trying to be realistic on it and pretty vocal that it would result in a fail to activate (or tried to be in terms of managing expectations).
Personally I like the direction though (cleaner chain, focused, filter the noise yada yada) so wanted to support it, and still do like that direction of focus and narrow scope, but the ecosystem has spoken!
I think it’s important to support things that you’re aligned with, even if it’s not popular. It’s a very easy option for me to think ah this things dead, I’m not staking my reputation (don’t have one but you know what I mean) on a failure. Sort of like lawyers taking cases that they know they win to preserve their hot streak.
I do like Bitcoin to be focused, and support that, but you have to go with the flow and not be bitter and dig your heels in if you lose (e.g BIP-110) as it isn’t the most constructive path forward and doesn’t add heaps of value.
BIP-110 failed and I think the best thing is to take stock in what new info was gained, to then explore how the chain grows moving forward!
Not sure if that answers your question, but it’s a lens into the view from a supporter of BIP-110!
Cheers dude!🍷
