    How to prove you're Satoshi.

    Posted: 26 Nov 2018 07:21 AM PST

    Steps to prove that you're Satoshi, creator of bitcoin:

    1. Make a signature from the 1st bitcoin block.

    2. Publicize the signature.

    3. Let the cryptographic community verify that it's real.

    This entire process would be done within 24 hours, BTC would die and BCHSV would moon to $20,000 or higher, Craig would become the new Vitalik with the full support of the hardcore crypto community behind him, and he would have the potential to win a nobel prize in technology. Leaving a profound impact on this world and being remembered as the visionary genius forefather of modern currency sounds great right?

    How to prove you're not Satoshi:

    Be Craig Wright, and do the following-

    1. Be one of the largest forces of douchery and trolling on social media, making the entire community who supports Satoshi hate you

    2. Smugly refuse to address any questions asking if you are Satoshi, or why you refuse to perform a basic proof instead of writing giant essays to trick brainlets into thinking you must be Satoshi since you know cryptography.

    3. Lose a hash-war to an ex-con black market explosives dealer, one of the only people in crypto who may be as hated as yourself.

    Bitcoin SV just appeared in the top 7. How does this market make sense any more?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2018 11:41 AM PST

    This market is incredible.

    The real bitcoin cash SV has a lower market cap than BCH-BAB coin which is run by one developer in cahoots with Jihan Wu and Roger Ver. BCH-BAB does not resemble the original Bitcoin protocol in any way after the changes over the last 10 days.

    Right after the fork, BCH-BAB has completely destroyed itself and separated itself from Bitcoin's original roadmap as its "benevolent dictator" Sechet Amaury made highly controversial changes like checkpointing, deep reorg protection (???), changing the transaction order in blocks to lexical, introducing a new OP code to enable oracles, Wormhole, all for the end goal of launching tokens and ICOs on top of BAB which has got absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin or Satoshi's outline for Digital Cash whatsoever. And there already exists a Popular platform for token - Ethereum.

    Bitcoin as described in the whitepaper is Digital Cash, not a layer for tokens. BAB can no longer be called Bitcoin, its offensive to bitcoin and to Satoshi to label this disfigured BAB protocol as Bitcoin. Even worse they are introducing proof of stake pre-consensus, which is an absolute joke and should be its own coin without any association with the term Bitcoin.

    Even worse, these changes on BCH-BAB were pushed through without even any discussion with the community in a highly centralised manner that defeats the whole purpose of bitcoin being an open source protocol, and also runs contrary to the process described by Satoshi for obtaining consensus for changes. BCH-BAB is definitely not Bitcoin in any shape or form.

    BTC with SegWit no longer resembles Bitcoin whitepaper either, and instead is just a way to monetize bitcoin by Blockstream. Bitcoin when scaled on its base layer, can natively scale to hundreds of TPS, as evidenced by the number of tests conducted on Bitcoin Cash in the past few months. However, onchain scaling proposal on Bitcoin was controversially blocked by Blockstream in order to promote their second layer scaling solutions that are still not fully functional today. And Blockstream can profit from these second layer solutions like Liquid and LN, which is the sole reason why they did not allow BTC to scale and why BCH was forked out of BTC in the first place.

    Everyone who has used Bitcoin in the last couple of years has seen that the current BTC cannot scale in order to support the global adoption. Scaling using Layer 2 is fair, but cock blocking onchain scaling so that one company can profit from layer 2 solutions is definitely not. BTC in its current state and form is totally useless and definitely not scalable Bitcoin.

    Bitcoin SV is Bitcoin as defined by the white paper and sticking to the original scaling plan of bitcoin, as stated by Satoshi on Bitcointalk forums. Bitcoin SV can already scale to over several million transactions per day. Bitcoin SV's sole vision and idea is to bring stability without controversial changes that deviate from the whitepaper, and scale bitcoin as a layer of money, Nothing more and nothing else.

    Bitcoin SV is the real Bitcoin that can scale onchain for use as actual digital cash/currency, instead of layer 2 or tokens.

    Why don't we keep forking Bitcoin untill we reach $1TC. I don't know why nobody has taught about this. Anyone interested in forking with me?

    Jokes aside, it's pathetic how a coin reaches Top 10 out of thin air.

    r/Btc mods on a censorship spree, banning users who are opposed to BAB's centralisation plans. Meanwhile these guys constantly whine about censorship on r/Bitcoin. The absolute ironic state of BAB coin today
