Growth of Bitcoin Knots: Bitcoin Knots, an alternative to Bitcoin Core, has seen a significant increase in node adoption, growing 638% this year to represent 13.24% of the Bitcoin network, indicating a shift in trust and ideology among Bitcoin infrastructure operators.
Potential for Schism: Upcoming changes proposed by Bitcoin Core could lead to a new schism similar to the 2017 Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash split, as more nodes adopt Bitcoin Knots in response to perceived non-neutrality in Core's policies, raising concerns about market stability and consensus within the Bitcoin community.

About BCH

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that aims to become sound global money with fast payments, micro fees, privacy and larger block size. As a permissionless, decentralized cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Cash requires no trusted third parties.Bitcoin Cash was created as an alternative to the first and most valuable cryptocurrency — Bitcoin (BTC). In 2017, BCH developers modified the BTC code, releasing their software version and a full-fledged competitive product, which split Bitcoin into two blockchains: Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash is a result of a hard fork in the blockchain due to differences in the community over Bitcoin scaling and the SegWit upgrade. Moreover, another hard fork, which divided Bitcoin Cash into two parts, Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV, took place in the fall of 2018.The scaling debate involved two sides: small block supporters opposed increasing block size as it could lead to blockchain centralization and vulnerability by making it harder to host full nodes. Large block supporters, however, advocated for a faster solution, concerned that rising transaction fees could hinder growth.
