Was having a conversation with Gemini about the ramifications of a small minority of node runners activating BIP-110 but not miners and/or exchanges signalling support for a forked coin. Trying to get my head around why a UASF threat worked for segwit in 2017 but wouldn't work for BIP-110. Really summed it up nicely I think!

"In 2017, the UASF was a gun pointed at the miners' heads by the entire economy. In 2026, BIP-110 is a gun pointed at your own foot while the economy ignores you."
