If BIP110 had 50% of hashpower then the game theory could have played out as two competing chains would have been carrying on for a relatively long time until some non-BIP110 decided to maybe flip the bit in order to consolidate on one chain and avoid a dramatic split. &#xA;&#xA;Any other scenario relies on some set of actors behaving well simply because they like some other set of actors. For all its flaws, Bitcoin doesn&#39;t work like that and it never did for that matter. Bitcoin is designed to keep working in a world where everyone is trying to fuck everyone else. </html></oembed>
