Chun Wang, co-founder of F2Pool mining pool (one of the largest in the world), flatly rejected BIP-444.
BIP-444 (soft fork proposal) is a bad idea. I have no intention of participating in a soft fork. Temporary or not? It’s sad to see some developers moving further and further away from the right path.

Like Wang, prominent developer Jameson Ropp joined in the criticism by commenting: “I heard that the number 444 is also a very bad number.”alluding to the number identifying BIP-444 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 444).

His statement refers to the core idea of Bitcoin. not dependent on a single authorityHowever, it is due to a broad social agreement between those running the network nodes and those using the protocol.
The logic is that once the majority of nodes adopt the update, the miner (in charge of processing the transaction) new rules must be followed Stay part of the network and earn rewards.
In this way, Dashjr emphasized that the real decision-making power in Bitcoin lies with the users, not those providing the computing power.
