Is BLAKE2B BIP-110 Bitcoin the REAL Bitcoin?

Which Bitcoin is the Real Bitcoin? Which is the Fake?

In this episode of Everyday Miner, Hobbyist sits down with fellow crypto miner and content creator @YourFriendAndy to break down the wild saga surrounding BIP-110 and the group of Bitcoin developers who forked off after their proposal failed to pass. Yet continue calling their new chain "the real Bitcoin." They dig into how the fork changed its mining algorithm to Blake2B, the confusion it’s causing node runners and new miners, and the surge of old Siacoin ASICs like IBeLink and Goldshell getting rented out on platforms like Mining Rig Rentals to capitalize on the chaos. The conversation also covers serious concerns around replay protection risks for anyone holding coins on the forked chain, plus the drama that unfolded when the NEOXA exchange briefly listed the token before delisting it under pressure. It’s a candid, unfiltered take on one of the strangest moments in recent Bitcoin history and a warning to miners not to get caught up in the hype.
