@mohrt I have good instinct and see thru the BS going on in Crypto today. This instinct has served me very well in
my 45 year career in finance. Many, many times what the crowd is thinking is WRONG and if you bet correctly, it makes a huge difference.
That's how I feel about both CSW and, by extension, BSV. I'm 100% convinced CSW created Bitcoin. Was it black and white? No. CSW is NOT a professional coder, and that is a PLUS not a minus.
CSW thought of unconventional ways to make Bitcoin work. He added together existing thoughts about digital money and came up with creative ways to make it all work - solved the Byzantine General problem with miner based POW etc. He got some help from professional coders; that may have worked on pieces of the code, without knowing the whole point of Bitcoin - CSW was smart enough to keep the "big picture" confidential and to himself.
Once some of the initial dev's semi-understood CSW/Satoshi's vision, that gave life to Bitcoin in the early years (so in that sense, CSW owe's some thanks to the first cyberpunks). But the cyberpunks started thinking of ways to get around "Gov't" - CSW saw what's happening and first tried to dissuade them from the Cyberpunk anti-state philosophy that resulted in players like Ross Ulbricht and Assange, and when that didn't work, he went incognito.
CSW/Satoshi would have been perfectly happy (that is until the block size debate in 2017 and the segwit BS) to remain anonymous. But, human nature being what it is, people were curious and the insatiable desire to "out Satoshi" culminated in 2015 with the Wired and Gizmodo articles that brought global awareness to CSW.
The BTC core guys - who knew CSW was Satoshi after the Gavin Andresen visit and corresponding signing by CSW - were hell-bent on discrediting CSW. That is because their idea of Bitcoin as digital gold (that they were successfully selling to the marketplace) was starting to gain momentum and all the early bitcoiners were getting rich. CSW/Satoshi was a THREAT to them at that point - just like
@realDonaldTrump is a threat to the "Deep State".
Well, after those articles, CSW was forced to come out, especially in 2017 when it was clear the Core bois were out to permanently handicap/scuttle/neuter Bitcoin - by not raising the block size and adding in Segwit - which would allow them to create an L2 solution called Lightning - which they owned. CSW and other big blockers, including the BCH bois, couldn't stand by and see that happened, hence the BCH fork.
Then the BCH bois started thinking of ways to limit Bitcoin scaling and adding in things like Schnorrs, Mimblewimble, OPP_DSV, Avalanche etc.). Satoshi/CSW who had gone along with BCH until then, said 'enough is enough' and hence, with help from Calvin Ayre (we all owe much thanks to Calvin) BSV was born. This time CSW made sure BSV followed his pure version of bitcoin, and went on, with
@nChainGlobal, to scale Bitcoin to the now unimaginable #Teranode level.
What about the COPA trial you say? As far as I am concerned the "trial" means SHIT and Mellor is another idiot, know-nothing judge, making a biased ruling.
Meanwhile the "retards" in BSV are standing strong and building some of the world's first real-usecase solutions built on the BSV protocol,
@scryptplatform @twetchapp @Tokenized_com @UNISOT_ @handcashapp etc. etc. etc. (apologize to all the great BSV apps I'm not individually naming here). CSW and Calvin need a well-deserved break and let them have that, while the smartest, most determined, patient entrepreneurs that I've come across, that are working on the BSV platform do their thing.
In time, CSW will be proven to be Satoshi and there is no question in my mind that BSV will prevail completely. Let the BTC and all the shitcoins have their day in the sun with this bull run - who gives a flying fVck! #DotComm anyone???
Long term, there is only one Globally scaled, true Proof of Work blockchain, based on the original and completely....
