Galaxy Research's Alex Thorn reports that a survey of over 25 institutional Bitcoin investors reveals minimal concern over the "Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots" debate. Only 18% support Core, none support Knots, and 46% are unaware of the controversy. Thorn criticizes the Knots faction for creating a non-existent issue to push self-serving forks. He emphasizes that major funds, mining companies, service providers, and government officials do not view this as a risk, and the topic is largely absent in miner communities. Thorn warns that the real threat is the fear-mongering around permissionless systems, which could deter external capital and harm Bitcoin's long-term adoption.
