The difference of two mindsets.

When BTC supporters think about next year, they think about where the price will be.

When BSV supporters think about next year, they think about how much the ecosystem is going to grow, and how much utility there will be.

"I found him easier to talk to than I’d expected. Craig said his father had worked for the NSA (he couldn’t explain this), but that, to this day, his mother thinks he worked for Nasa. ‘The few people I care about I care about a lot,’ he said, ‘and I care about the state of the world. But there’s not much in between.’ He said he was happy I was writing about him because he wanted ‘to step into history’, but mainly because he wanted to tell the story of the brilliant people he had collaborated with. He and Ramona were both jet-lagged and anxious about things back home. ‘We should have been having our company’s Christmas party today,’ Ramona said".


"MacGregor asked Wright if being a libertarian had influenced his work, or if the work had turned him into a libertarian. ‘I was always libertarian,’ he replied, and then he told me his father had more or less kidnapped him after his parents got divorced. He hated being told what to do – that was one of his main motivations. He believed in freedom, and in what freedom would come to mean, and he said his work would guarantee a future in which privacy was protected. ‘Where we are,’ he said, ‘is a place where people can be private and part of that privacy is to be someone other than who they were. ..."

His mother, when I met her in Brisbane in March 2016, told me he was sometimes picked on at school. “He struggled,” she said, “but after a while I sent him to Padua College” — a Catholic boys’ school in Brisbane — “and he shone there. I mean, he was different. He used to dress up and he had an obsession with Japanese culture. He had big samurai swords.” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/satoshi-nakamoto-craig-wright-and-the-bitcoin-mystery/news-story/e568c600a87700b2e2e981fa621a30ff

1.65 million BSV transactions yesterday, [https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-bch-bsv.html#3m]

without raising median transaction fees. Actually median transaction fees fell [https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/median_transaction_fee-bch-bsv.html#3m]

BSV shows no signs of not being able to scale.

"Dave Kleiman was to become the most important person in Wright’s professional life, the man he says helped him do Satoshi’s work. They met online: they visited the same cryptography forums and had interacted since 2003. Both men were interested in cyber security, digital forensics and the future of money, but Kleiman was a boy’s boy, an army veteran who loved contact sports and fast living. Five foot ten and weighing 200 pounds, he lived in Riviera Beach, Florida, and from 1986 to 1990 he was an army helicopter technician. When I looked into Kleiman’s life, I discovered he had also done computer forensics work for Homeland Security and the army. After active service he became a deputy in the Palm Beach County sheriff’s office. A motorcycle crash in 1995, when he was 28, left him in a wheelchair. Kleiman was a drug user and one source told me he was heavily into online gambling and various illicit activities; there is evidence he was associated with Silk Road, the online marketplace for all things illegal. After the accident he devoted himself to computers, and set up a company called Computer Forensics LLC.

Until Napster (the brainchild of a teenager called Shawn Fanning) came along in 1999, enabling users to share music files across the internet without a central server, the phrase ‘peer-to-peer sharing’ was familiar only to the early internet’s true believers.​5 Napster, with its user-friendly interface, brought file-sharing to the masses. The old model of copyright and revenue generation became obsolete overnight: people stopped buying CDs; young people got music through the internet for free. The music industry had to reinvent itself or die. Wright told me that his earliest conversations with Kleiman were about file-sharing. In 2007 they wrote a study guide together on hacking. ‘I used to fire ideas off him,’ Wright said. ‘I’m pretty good at maths but I’m not very good at people.’ Kleiman, he said, could put up with his temper, which not everybody could. They began to speak of ways to use the Napster idea in other areas and solve some old problems in cryptography. Wright never, I have to say, made it fully clear how they had collaborated on building bitcoin. I kept returning to the subject, and my doubts would flare up when he failed to be explicit.

‘Give me a sense of how the idea of Satoshi formed,’ I said.

‘I guess,’ Wright replied, ‘the initial idea was having a pseudonymous head that wouldn’t be cut off.’

‘More your idea than his?’

‘Probably mine.’

‘And was there a point you realised you needed a figurehead?’ I asked.

‘We needed people to respond to us,’ he said. ‘But I didn’t really want people to respond to me. There are a couple of reasons for that. I don’t think I would really have sold the idea to anyone. If I’d come out originally as Satoshi without Dave, I don’t think it would have gone anywhere. I’ve had too many conversations with people who get annoyed because it’s me.’

‘The blockchain came about as an idea of a ledger,’ he said. ‘But there were a number of problems that needed to be solved. It needed to be distributed, but how do you make sure people don’t collude – it may seem awful but you don’t put trust in people, you incentivise people to act. And you incentivise people to act by giving them the opportunity to earn something. It’s as Adam Smith says: it’s not through the goodness of the heart, it’s not the baker caring about you, it’s not the butcher caring about you, it’s them caring about their own families. Together, as he put it, the invisible hand controls the way society works.’

"It’s not through the goodness of the heart, it’s not the baker caring about you, it’s not the butcher caring about you, it’s them caring about their own families. Together, as he put it, the invisible hand controls the way society works". Adam Smith

"Ganar dinero con Bitcoin SV resulta tan sencillo como crearse una dirección de correo electrónico en MoneyButton o descargar en el móvil la aplicación Handcash y comenzar a cobrar por las creaciones que compartes en la cadena de bloques. Desde Twitter hasta Instagram. Fotos, vídeos, audios, textos, registros, identidades y contratos. Aquello que mejor sepas hacer, puedes compartirlo de manera inmutable en la blockchain y recibir beneficios cada vez que a otro usuario le guste o utilice tu creación".

US Treasury designates China as a currency manipulator

"...Existen algunas limitaciones por diseño, ya que la Lightning Network se encuentra en desarrollo y puede haber pérdida de dinero. Los canales tienen un límite de capacidad de 0,16 BTC y los pagos se pueden realizar hasta 0,04 BTC.

Los nodos tienen una capacidad promedio de 0.183 BTC y los canales de pago 0.026 BTC, lo que equivale a unos 311 dólares. Además, a pesar de que durante el rally de alza de precios de junio la cantidad de bitcoins en los canales de pago de la LN disminuyó, los nodos tienen un promedio de vida de 6 meses. Los operadores de nodos deben tener una cantidad de Bitcoin determinada depositada en la LN para poder crear los canales de pago, ..."

"Los diseños de interfaz del usuario (UX) y interfaz gráfica de usuario (GUI) aún tienen mucho que mejorar. Ni hablar de la necesidad de que ambos usuarios involucrados en determinado pago deban estar conectados para poder ejecutarlo, así como los problemas relacionados al cierre involuntario de los canales de pago y la dificultad para añadir liquidez a los mismos. La red aún se encuentra en una etapa de desarrollo y los usuarios deben tener un nivel técnico para poder utilizar sus potencialidades a fondo. Todo esto debe cambiar."
