Beyond having 4 wheels, a steering wheel, and some seats, a Tesla Model 3 is nothing like a Ford Model T, yet we still call it an automobile.

I understand that we criticize forks like BCH, BCHA, BSV but finally the Core group is experimenting like the forks in concrete facts 🤔
You're not criticizing it; you're trying to give BSV a little advertisement over here. Your username checks out.

As long as the new updates provide something new and better without compromising stability, decentralization and security, I'm fine with them. Forks are inevitable at some point, yet that doesn't make Bitcoin a better coin. Alts are mostly testing grounds for BTC, as someone said a while ago over here. Bitcoin doesn't get day-one upgrades unlike other coins; an untested tech is a risky thing.

How and why do you think a 51% is coming? :D

Looks better than BSV.

I heard there were few issues with Taproot like privacy issues and something like that. Wondering if they have sorted out?

So just with these 5 pools AntPool, F2Pool, Poolin, Slush Pool and BTC.com and Luxor Core are going to make a 51 attack of the network to force BTC to become "updated"!? So finally the real BTC decentralisation is just between these 5 extractive actors?!

Pool is not equal to separate miner. Its not "5 extractive actors". Its 10 000 nodes that work for pools and each one can decide by himself if he want to join "force BTC to become "updated"" or not. Every second a miner can switch from one pool (toxic in his opinion) to other pool(legit). Even though 5 pools own 54% its far from forcing bitcoin to do anything and after first try a pool will lose its reputation and customers (aka miners)
