Two moments in Bitcoin actually had me sweating bullets.
First: Coinbase announced that basically every major exchange was ready to fork to Bitcoin Classic (total lie, but I didn't know that yet). I'd only been in for 3–4 years. I genuinely thought the network was already captured. My head wasn't fully wrapped around things.
Second one hit even harder: UASF (BIP148). I was staring down the barrel, thinking I'd have to sit my family and friends down and explain: "Hey, your wallets are connected to my BIP148 node. If things split on Aug 1, you'll hold coins on both sides at first... But after that? Any future buys, deposits, or whatever comes in...they'll be BIP148 Bitcoin, not the legacy chain the miners were trying to keep cucked under Jihan & co."
When it comes to BIP110 chmaps..there might be 2 or 3 guys the truly grasp the danger of forking without enough support. The rest are just useful idiots going for a ride.
