Sorry, but...
stupid analogy is stupid.

It would be one thing if BTC's 'innovations' were demonstrably, measurably better. However, even at this late date (two years?), how much value is being transacted on the 'improved' LN?

You're saying my analogy is stupid because LN isn't perfect yet?

No. I'm saying that your analogy is stupid because:
A Corrolla is better than a T in every discernible measurable dimension, save nostalgia, and;
BTC is not measurably better than bitcoin protocol 1.0 in any discernible dimension.

Again with the conflation of Craig and BSV.

So far, the things he has been saying -- with regards to the BSV protocol itself -- is to bring it into further congruence with the initial satoshi protocol. Accordingly, all the other mutterings are but peripheral and irrelevant to the chain itself.

One does not need to believe any Craig <> prophet status in order to see the benefit of the direction of the BSV protocol.

There is no conflation: BSV is Craig.

Hmm. Most four year olds can tell the difference between a cryptocurrency and a person. Pity you cannot.

Hmm, off course you don't really believe that do you. Because you have large holdings in both Bitcoin and BCH.

Why should he not diversify or hedge, whatever he believes.

Correct. BSV is better than 0.10. Its a far, far more advanced, different model of Bitcoin.

and;
BTC is not measurably better than bitcoin protocol 1.0 in any discernible dimension.

You're now taking this argument into semantic territory, but no matter how you slice it, Bitcoin is better off because of the various BIPs that have been implemented through the years, several of which allow Bitcoin to do things better now than it could then. You probably only have problems with more recent ones guiding SegWit implementation, but that's a different debate. Fact is, several Standard Track BIPs have not only made changes to the protocol but improved upon it as well. Most of these are currently found in BSV.

You're just playing dumb again in lieu of having an actual counterargument. I'm saying BSV's recent successes are due to Craig being an excellent con artist. You're saying they are due to its superior tech, which is false. The price moves because of Craig's dramatics, not because there is anything suddenly happening with BSV itself.

Good morning WO's, Indeed it is over $9000 looking at 9155 and climbing. This is fine.
Tet is coming soon and the karaoke parties are starting. I'm expecting prices to follow the celebrations of the next 10 days.
Friends and atmosphere all in place.  Here's a shot of our back yard currently. Any sleuths out there find this? Shouldn't be terribly difficult.

My second bullet further makes the point by saying that you believe it's irrelevant if faketoshi is Satoshi (but BSvers for some reason still need to follow his truest implementation) 

It is irrelevant whether or not CSW is Satoshi precisely because the changes BSV is undergoing are bringing it closer to Satoshi's original protocol. We don't need Craig to dictate the direction because the whitepaper exists and because bitcoind 0.1 exists. We can read.

There is only one reason why the changes BSV is undergoing are bringing it closer to Satoshi's "original protocol". CSW will pay Kleiman Estate in BSV claiming these are kind of bitcoins he and Dave Kleiman mined using Satoshi's original protocol.

How is it a hedge? The whole crypto market goes in sync. A hedge would be in another non correlated market, or perhaps using futures/options.

Nope, it means he doesn't believe that BSV is actually better.

At $400k there won't be any normal people with bitcoins left probably. You won't be able to cash out even if you wanted to because you won't have any bitcoins.

Most log TA charts say the next ATH will be between 50 and 100k. It is probably not the best idea to wait for any price above $100k.



I’ll probably take some to the grave with me. Don’t get me wrong, at $400,000 (which I don’t think will happen until after the halving in 2024) I will most likely have sold a lot but I’ll definitely not be all fiat then.

Edit - Good morning everybody btw, proper Vegeta this time  Cool

An even better conspiracy theory I heard on Twitter is that Craig is positioning himself to convince the BSV miner crowd to fork over control of all Satoshi-mined coins to himself. I mean, hey, he's Satoshi to them after all, so why wouldn't they?

That is illogical on so many levels. If he's satoshi he'd surely have access to those coins, also why would they need some btc when they have their own knock-off "better version" btc? However, at the same time, bsv crowd doesn't seem to use logic at all so I wouldn't be surprised if that is actually a thing.

I said why shouldn't he in principle hedge OR diversify


If you insist how can this be a hedge, all the tech is linked? How about if sv got spammed to death beyond manageable blockchain size. Or someone makes sv kitties? are you saying that would happen instantly on all versions by some common law?

no. So hedges can be same or different why not. Different things to hedge against.

Sold all my BTC minus 0.05 at 8.9k, feeling pretty good about it, next price is 7k again (in my humble opinion, could be wrong!).
