A pretty good overview of the BIP-110 user activated soft fork to defend Bticoin. I personally believe the future of Bitcoin depends on regular people running their own nodes, uploading/downloading transactions their node verified, so attacks on making that more difficult and expensive is part of a plot to centralize control of Bitcoin. As the software node runners use defines the network and what Bitcoin is, but if you drastically decrease those numbers you can swing it to the corporate interests in the space and their many nodes. The ones that will do what the government tells them to, as node runners also serve as a defense against government regulation and influence, dispersed around the world and outside the control of any single government, and also hidden behind Tor. I’m running Knots signalling for BIP-110 on my main and backup nodes, and if the miners don’t activate it, I’ll refrain from transacting and see if we get a chain split and how it progresses. And I’d be willing to stay on the split if the big commercial mining interests won’t capitulate, and mining pools are also made up of normal people with mining hardware who can leave. Consequently, I think the mining pools will capitulate to keep a precedent of node runners controlling Bitcoin being set, claiming the power rests with them, just like with Segwit and the BIP-148 user activated soft fork.
