F2Pool Co-founder Wang Chun: Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not involve forced approaches like "bundled legislation" pushing them through.

Deep Tide TechFlow message, April 04, on X, Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, stated that the Bitcoin protocol upgrade should not involve actions like U.S. politicians adopting “bundled bills” to push things through by force, which is also an important reason for his opposition to BIP-110 and BIP-54. Several issues being discussed lack real urgency: for example, the “time warp attack” (Timewarp) has existed for a long time, but it provides no substantive benefit to miners’ profits; block validation efficiency has already improved significantly due to libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades, so there is no need for changes at the protocol layer; and “forging already confirmed transactions” fundamentally relies on cracking a double SHA256 collision—if that were to be true, it would mean that Bitcoin Core security has been breached. Wang Chun added that none of the issues above are sufficient to drive protocol changes; currently, only the “duplicate transactions” issue has some repair value, and it could be one of the few changes worth implementing.
