This feels a lot like Blocksize wars of 10 years ago, but I'm much less worried about a fork this time.
I don't think that a large number of BTC holders outside of an "extremely online" faction really care about OP_RETURN data... And drastic measures like BIP110 require the presupposition that there is some kind of "existential crisis" afoot.
A. Back on "the island" -- bad publicity, sure. You know what was worse, also back in 2016? "Online Drug Bazaar Silk Road powered Exclusively by Bitcoin." Bad PR will pass.
Gold and silver adoption only helps BTC, once world governments realize that they can't email a brick of Au, and they're back to needing an open, trusted, non-State digital from of money.
soooo IDK 2, 3?
