Even if I knew the "cat" I wouldn't reveal his name to Wright because whoever supports this scammer will carry the weight of it on his conscience. I hope Hodlonaut will win this and this shouldn't be hard if Craig loses the case against Kleiman. He was asked to prove that he's Satoshi. If that does not happen he will have no reputation anymore No damage done.

There is a way but he won't use it because he IS faketoshi. That way is to sign genesis coins or move them. He won't do any of it because he's an imposter and most people with IQ higher than that of a rusty nail know it.

Institutional investors are a myth. We're hearing about this every year and all Wall Street does is short futures and scam us by getting hopes up and then not delivering. There was supposed to be an ETF but there isn't. Bakkt was delayed and when it finally launched the volume was low and it wasn't even backed because almost all users were trading fiat futures there.
The reason could be war because gold and oil prices also went up and Bitcoin is closer to commodities than stocks.

Allright so I have to download this Electron Cash wallet, then choose "use existing seed" and enter the seed phrase of my Electrum wallet which had the 5BTC on it at 1st August 2017. At the moment my balance is just a fraction of 1 mbtc so there is no risk to this IMO. All correct?
This thread is turning into a chat You don't have to play with seeds. I did that a long time ago but it's enough to install electron cash and then click "file" and "open" and then choose your existing wallet file from electrum. Usually it's in appdata/roaming/electrum Also remember not to move BCH to an exchange that isn't supporting BSV for you because you will move both BCH and BSV and could lose BSV. You can use Electron SV to get SV once you have BCH and split it from BCH. BCH/SV coins don't have replay protection. Sending one will also send the other unless you split first.

Okay,
I copied my current receiving address from the same wallet that had 5btc on it at the time of the 1st August 2017 Fork, but the result was 0 BTC, 0 BTCcash and 0 BTSV. What does this mean? I'm 100% sure my balance was 5 BTC the whole day of 1st August 2017 and also the days before and after. I can proved this with a screenshot of my Electrum wallet with all transactions and dates in this.
Can you show the address here? Just copy the address and paste it in this thread. You can always install electron cash and it will show you all your BCH if you have any. It's probably the easiest way if you already have all coins in Electrum. https://electroncash.org/For safety move all your Bitcoins before sending your BCH anywhere. You can use electron cash to check on the addresses but don't send any transactions until you move BTC from the addresses with BCH.

The attention that the community is giving to CSW is favoring him, he is getting the publicity that he wants and he's taking it to the next level of just showing different addresses that can be seen by anyone publicly without anything to prove.
He can't sign a message because he doesn't own that huge amount of bitcoin. And someone from the court who understands what he's done will certainly give them laughs.
He was asked many times by many parties to sign and never did. He also was in financial trouble more than once and never moved the coins. When confronted on conferences he always run backstage. He's a clown not the real Satoshi. If you read Satoshi's messages they don't look like written by a narcissist that Craig is. Many people say that Craig is buying time because he knows he lost the Kleiman case. If BSV pumps and Craig exits on top he'll at least have a chance to live on the run. He still won't be able to pay what he owes the Kleiman family. We're talking about a billion dollars here. Craig is done. Haha really? he's running at the backstage when he was asked like that? he has no face to show to the people that's why he's acting like that and he knows his real stand to what he is saying which is full of nonsense things and claims. There is a possibility that he goes on full exit with that fork he made and that's why he's trying to pump it as much as he can before the said due date on February. But regardless of that, it will never change the reality that he's claiming things that doesn't belong to him. Yes, really. You did not see the video or read about it? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/craig-wright-savaged-stage-malta-183312031.htmlCraig forges signatures and lies in court. Even the judge saw it and wrote in his opinion that Craig doesn't answer straight and hides behind technicalities when asked simple questions. Look at this. One of his proofs https://twitter.com/stephendpalley/status/1146527019326496769

By "your bitcoin address" you mean just any random receiving address belonging to the wallet that had Bitcoins on it at 1st August 2017?
Yes. If the address had Bitcoins on it before and after that date it forked into BCH and then that BCH forked into BSV. It happened even if bitcoins were moved a few days later in August 2017. BCH remained on that address and later forked into BSV. Also, why do you say "if you had bitcoins on your wallet before 1st August 2017? I suppose I would have to have then in my wallet AT 1st August 2017, right? If I had 10 bitcoins on July 31st but sent them away the same day, I will not get anything from that in terms of the Bitcoin Cash Fork, right?
Yes at that exact date at #478559 so you have to check what time that was for you. If your Bitcoins were sent out on the July 31st you almost certainly don't have any forked coins but it won't hurt to paste the address to blockchair and see for yourself.

You can still claim both BCH and BSV if you had Bitcoins on your wallet before 1 August 2017. Your coins were forked anyway, you did not have to do anything but they were not split. You have to split them yourself. There are many ways to do it. Check if you have forks to claim by typing your Bitcoin address on this site https://blockchair.com/

You won't become a target if someone knows you have crypto. Don't be too paranoid about it unless you have a lot of money invested. People also see you drive expensive car or live in a big house.
Many things you do show you as a wealthy person but that isn't stopping people from inviting friends over and throwing a parties where everyone can see what they have in the house. Maybe somebody finds your drone attractive, maybe it's your camera or your new laptop. You can't live like a recluse afraid that somebody will see your wealth.

Yes, bitcoin mining only used CPU on first year(s) of bitcoin, until mining difficulties become more difficult and mining such become slow, hard to find new blocks to get rewarded, then it become GPU untill miners used asic hardwares started on 2013.
There was also a short window of time in which FPGAs were used for mining. They weren't even as fast as good GPUs, but much more power efficient, AFAIK. I remember reading about people who used these boards. They were stacked into these little towers of single chip boards. You can even find posts of forum users selling them in 2012. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120715Look at the price! 31 BTC each! I think they were used until early of 2013 when asics stormed the market. You can find youtube videos of people talking about how they used to mine with their home PC in 2011 and make a lot of money.

What fall? I don't get it. We are having a blast at the current price right now. Although we are still far from all-time high, at least we are now at $7,000-$8,000 from the lowest of 2019 with $3,800. During those days, china hasn't even involve in Bitcoin mining yet we are increasing in price. It doesn't matter how the hashrates is because bitcoin will adapt and corrects itself in order to be sustainable.
Though I agree that China plays some role in Bitcoin price. Remember when one of their official released a statement about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin pumped to $10,000 then dumped to current price.
Maybe he's talking about the bottom of 2019 because the announcement about China banning mining was also in 2019 and later there was another announcement by Chinese president about the country continuing blockchain research and deciding not to ban mining. A country with so much hash power will of course have an impact on the price but a ban would not mean that all Chinese hash power would disappear. They would move to other countries. When there were rumors of a ban they were already securing deals in USA and Europe.

The chance is always there in a year with a Bitcoin halving. The chances to the upside are much better right now, just don't forget to have some strong hands in the wild swings up which are just ahead of us.
It's certainly true that previous halvings have led to price increases... but each time it happens, the more the expectation it will happen again at the next halving, and so the more likely for it already to be priced in. Personally I do think there will be a rise, but perhaps not the mega-rise that some people are expecting. I definitely agree with you about the wild swings, too - those aren't going away any time soon! Who's there to say that if something is unexpected it will happen and when it's expected it won't? Bitcoin pumps did not happen because they were unexpected but because there were some extraordinary circumstances surrounding them like in 2013 Mt.Gox bot was pumping the price and in 2017 there was a mix of futures + etf hype and probably some influence of USDt.

OP you're making a big deal out of nothing. There's a simple reason why addresses with over 0.1 BTC make up for about 12% of all addresses. All businesses exchanges even your wallets are making new addresses to keep the change. For this reason 50% of all addresses are almost empty and it doesn't mean there's manipulation in the air.
Your mistake is believing that all those almost empty/empty and all those full addresses belong to different people. That if there's 14 million addresses with some change on them there's 14 million people in the space with nothing to say about the price. 14 million victims. It's a wrong approach!
What if we only have 2 million unique people in the space who own Bitcoin? What if all those 20 million addresses with less than 0.01 BTC on it belong to the same 2 million people who own all those addresses containing 1 Bitcoin or more?

Many analyst say that the current price is not a good indicator of the value of bitcoin but only an indicator of the mood investors are in.
It was the same in 2017. People were overhyped and overvalued not only Bitcoin but also altcoins. BCH and LTC were both worth much more than they should be and so was XRP and some other shitcoins. Now the mood is different and Bitcoin is undervalued. It will have to return to normal at some point.

Appreciate your opinion but the piece of my 2 cents is for the OP to take. GTFO.
So why don't you PM him about it instead of writing a post? You make a post on a forum and you can expect people to answer it, even if you add to it that it's for OP's eyes only. It looks like you don't take criticism well.

So you're planning to sell ETH low and buy an even more risky and more volatile coin to make some of your losses back.
If you hold so little Bitcoin why not invest more in it. I always feel bad when I see people's portfolios where 80% or more are various altcoins and Bitcoin takes up the rest. Differentiating is a good thing to do when you're in different markets like gold + stocks + cryptocurrencies but not when all of your investment is in crypto market that depends on the price of bitcoin.

You can add PureVPN and TunnelBear. I've tried both and they both accept Bitcoin payments and do not keep or share logs of your connection. They are both fine and have plenty of servers to choose from especially in Europe. I prefer to use a nearby location because it's faster.

it's unavailable to me. one of the conditions to get 700 Yodollars is to register on Cryptotalk forum. Plus the possibility of referral earnings, I guess there is a large influx of new user registrations. I wouldn't be surprised if scripts for automatic registration already exist and spam forum. We will see after 28. January when this "currency" going to market.
It works for me. Maybe they were doing maintenance when you were checking it out. Yo dollars? Is it this their crypto ponzi with sell restrictions? I remember reading about some coin on yobit that people got from an airdrop and can't sell. Cryptotalk isn't going to beat bitcointalk but they could be trying to direct traffic there and increase the value of the domain to sell it with profit.
