i think you could just create a new genesis block since which blocks are part of the longest (= includes the most work) chain is also part of consensus. then everything would be the same except the history would start from scratch.

there is no limit on how many blockchains with Bitcoin's properties can be created.

I'm not smart enough about the actual programming to make that point any more articulately. Are there some trivial consensus differences that wouldn't alter the functionality, but would prevent integration with the bitcoin network?

This argument is just weird
