Bitcoin Wars Escalate as Luke Dashjr’s Leaked Messages Stir Controversy

A leaked chat from Bitcoin Knots developer Luke Dashjr reveals a potential plan for a hardfork to address concerns about Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) potentially being downloaded by Bitcoin nodes. This follows the upcoming Bitcoin Core v30 upgrade, which expands data storage capabilities, raising concerns among some developers.

The leak has intensified tensions between Bitcoin Knots and Bitcoin Core users, dividing the community.
Michael Saylor has shown support for Bitcoin Knots, which aims to filter content deemed harmful or as spam.
Critics argue that Knots' approach may lead to centralization and restrict Bitcoin's permissionless nature.
Luke Dashjr labeled reports of the leak as "fake news," but hasn't denied the authenticity of the messages.
BTC prices have experienced volatility, recently trading around $109,500 after a drop from $114,000.
