Michael Saylor claims that speculators who modify the protocol are the biggest threat to Bitcoin

Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, stated that the biggest threat to the Bitcoin network comes from "ambitious opportunists" attempting to push for protocol changes. Bitcoin extremist Justin Bechler believes that this statement is aimed at developers promoting non monetary purposes, such as on chain NFTs or image storage. Investor Fred Krueger believes that quantum computing is the biggest risk for Bitcoin. RPC node service provider Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz opposes Saylor's viewpoint, stating that Bitcoin should fix vulnerabilities rather than refuse to improve. The community is divided around the controversy over garbage trading and the BIP-110 proposal, with one faction supporting a freeze on the protocol and the other advocating for feature expansion.
