wry Posted August 10, 2019 #1 Posted August 10, 2019 Craig Wright self proclaimed and widely derided creator of bitcoin has also brought us Bitcoin SV, where SV stands for Satoshi Vision. Back in late July SV had a hard for and a couple of weeks later about 20% of SV nodes are still on the old software. I'm guessing this is what has helped to crater the price of SV even further. The linked article has a nice discussion of hard forks which was pretty cool. The key thing going forward though is Craig Wright himself. While this guy may be a total bozo for trying to claim to be Satoshi, it is clear he mined hundred of thousands of Bitcoins early on. He claims they are locked up in a trust. I expect they are, but when/if he does get access to them he will be a force to be reckoned with. He could use them to buy up SV or crash the BTC market. So this guy bears watching.

williamshennie9 Posted August 14, 2019 #2 Posted August 14, 2019 It is scary to think that the majority of bitcoin and major altcoins is held by a select few people in this world, who indirectly (or directly for that matter) and move the price up and down, regardless of what the people want.
djonox Posted August 14, 2019 #3 Posted August 14, 2019 I do not know if the BSV will increase in time I have never heard about it I just learned a new one.
