Bitcoin Cnots, issued by the developer Luke Dashjr for the first time in early 2010, presented a more composition and entry into CORE.
Currently, most nodes use Bitcoin Core to support the Bitcoin network. However, Bitcoin Cnots has grown 638 % since the beginning of the year, with only 394 contracts to 2909 contracts as of June 19. The huge growth rate began to see a significant increase in May, and is now 13.24 % of all nodes that support Bitcoin.
The latest Spike Bitcoin CNOTS indicates that a trivial share of Bitcoin infrastructure operators no longer trusts Core to define Bitcoin unilaterally.
This is not just a technical opposition, as it is ideological.
The last node census turned dramatically in 2017, on the eve of the confrontation of Segwit2X. At that time, the differences on the size of the mass and the strength of the broken miners of the network in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.
Now, the other division may be formed. Instead of banning sizes, it comes to the spirit of the protocol, and it may significantly affect the stability and adoption of prices by the end of the year.
Did the Bitcoin knot move from Fringe to Vanguard?
The Bitcoin node started as a CORE energy -user shouk, integrating corrections, features and political amendments that were controversial or very early to adopt the main line. It hovers between 50 and 200 active contracts for most of its existence, as a launching land for conservative developers cautiously of CORE.
From March 2016 to early 2022, the number of the knot was barely violated. Even during the increase in orders in 2023, when the BRC-20 bonds of bitcoin-based inscriptions, renewed discussions about what Bitcoin was, where a knot exceeded 1000 contracts before decline.
Then it came in late 2024. When the OP_RUTURN cleaning puff in Core began in the rotation, a sofa in a language about pruning, the efficiency of nutrition and Mimpol hygiene, a knot began to climb. By early 2025, he had doubled three times. By June 19, 2025, it reached 2,909, with growth It is still accelerating.

The message behind the numbers is clear. A significant sub -group of Bitcoin’s most technical participants rejects the ethical power of Core. Where Bitcoin Core was supposed to have talked about Bitcoin itself, there is an increasing appetite for pluralism and perhaps even the open challenge.
Bitcoin split in October 2025?
Tensions escalated more on June 6, when Bitcoin Core A statement It indicates a shift towards a minimum “syndrome” deportation policy. The advertisement avoids specific terms such as OP_RUTURN or orders, but its effects were clear. Under the new position, the basic customers may soon stop transferring non -standard transactions by default, even if these transactions are valid under bitcoin consensus rules. Critics argue that this policy risks undermining Bitcoin’s neutrality by enforcing a self -vision of the permitted activity on the network.
CORE’s proposed changes, scheduled for October 2025, include a more restricted processing for OP_RUTURN, the researcher code that allows the inclusion of arbitrary data into bitcoin transactions. Although this visual symbol was historically directed in 80 bytes and installed in practice, everything has been supported from the unique version of the omni and Protepique to Ordinals similar to NFT in recent years.
Some developers argue that these transactions excel over the chain, wander in financial activity and must be rejected. Others say that they selectively disable them or punish them violate the bitcoin principle of neutrality. If the treatment is valid through the rules of consensus and payment of competitive fees, it must be transferred and extracted.
Special knots, Incomplete These filters are at the level of politics unless they are explicitly formed. His ascension indicates that the unlimited narration around the heart acquires strength. In other words, the Bitcoin Policy, which is quietly dictated by a small circle of the main supervisors, is now competing through the contract that turns into a knot of standard numbers.

This is not yet a difficult thorn scenario, but it is approaching. The 2017 SEGWit upgrade reached a boiling point when the different software options became incompatible. If the coming changes for CORE cause blocks or transactions that are rejected by non -core customers, the stage will be set to repeat the date.
With more than 13 % of the network that already works on a knot, this is not just a protest vote but the beginning of a parallel consensus.
The price may be affected if the date or rhymes are repeated
When Bitcoin is divided into Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash on August 1, 2017, the markets responded to volatility but there is no collapse.
As Cointelegraph, Bitcoin (BTC) decreased about 5.6 %, decreased from about $ 2,875 on July 31 to $ 2718 on the day of fork.
However, this decrease has proven short -term. During the month of August, BTC rose about 49 %, with a power of about 4,050 dollars, and continued to increase the meteorite to nearly $ 20,000 by December 2017. At the same time, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) launched trading in approximately 0.0045 BTC ($ 240) and Skyrockket to 0.283 BTC (~ $ 1,500) before $ 300.
Away from breaking the investor’s confidence, the fork strengthened the dominance of BTC and gave the dissidents an alternative to Bch.
Risk, this time, higher. Through Bitcoin’s investment funds, companies are betting on Bitcoin on their public budgets, and the market may be prepared by the explosion peaks in the expected future, this division can have more market risks than we have seen in the past.
If the Bitcoin node maintains the average growth rate from May to October 2025, there will be more than 5,000 contracts that run a knot client. It will be equal to about 23 % of the entire bitcoin network.
This level of adoption would represent the greatest difference from Bitcoin Core since the harsh fork of 2017, and this time, the rebellion is already inside the house.
