Consensus requires third parties to enter into consensus, and trusted third parties are security holes. For example, the security of the network's value integrity is left to the consensus among developers when we talk about BIP, or specifically regarding the Knots vs. Core issue. There is no true immutability. That's why I talk about security holes derived even from fiat regulatory issues that can lead to a legal ban on the very actors involved in "consensus." And ultimately, science itself is not based on consensus, despite what fiat academic bureaucrats would like.
Can you provide some best practices during this chain split? Some things seem obvious like self custody, but I'm also hearing we shouldn't store too much BTC on a single UTXO. Previously I was under the impression we should be consolidating UTXO's. I'm concerned UTXO structure could be important when it comes time to move coins from the "bad" chain to the "good" one. Also, I have heard there can be privacy issues regarding both chains having identical wallet addresses, seed phrases, and so on. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
