Erik Voorhees confirms that they are also de-listing BSV in support of #Hodlonaut.

Kraken is about to delist them as well, and I hope plenty more services/exchange will follow.

I wonder if Roger will take it easy now the community has clearly spoken against those who try to deceive others. I honestly believe that Roger inflicted more harm on actual users than CSW with how he scammed people making them believe they were buying Bitcoin, but actually bought BCash. He has also been contacting merchants tempting them to remove BTC as payment option.

Hope BCash gets delisted too.

Blockchain.com is also delisting BSV by May 2019 and good to see the entire bitcoin community standing united against such fraudsters. The price already fell by 20% in a day.

There is a pool going on.

It's a tough week for Craig Wright (Fake satoshi)  .
It started with Binance (Binance Will Delist BCHSV), and then the announcement of Kraken (Should Kraken delist Bitcoin SV (BSV)? ), now this plus a lot of time until coinbase confirme the transactions (1008).
I do not expect too much time to die, the price has already fallen and the candidate is heading for further collapse.
The real question is why was it listed?

for the same reasons bcash or ethereum classic was listed. exchanges want to ride listing hype to churn out commissions, proponents want price discovery, opponents are happy to sell their fork coins. all the incentives line up perfectly.

It seems that the delisting hype isn't only affecting BSV anymore.

SBI Group delisted BCash; https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/04/16/bitcoin-cash-bch-delisted-from-japans-sbi-virtual-currencies-exchange/

This is a big deal considering how much of a home Japan is for Roger and his merchant adoption.

Make this ecosystem healthy again!

LOL. Wasn’t SBI Group the ones supporting BCH since the beginning of the fork? IIRC, there was a bunch of people on BTC’s subreddit about how they knew BCH was the real Bitcoin, that they were huge and all of that stuff. Oh, the irony...

That cracked me up hard, it's so true.

Currently SBI CEO is betting on XRP to become a currency used by all banks in Japan. It seems that they aren't exactly sure what coin to support. They said about BCash that it would be a globally accepted currency, and that they would do everything they can to make this become reality. If this is a sign of how every coin they predict will do well turns into shit, then I already feel bad for XRP.

So, I guess that’s oficially a RIP for BSV?

Tyler Winklevoss (from Gemini) hating on BSV:

JUST IN: @Gemini never listed $BSV in the first place.

BitForex:

Should BitForex delist the $BSV token? #delistBSV

eFin Dex:

As a true DEX we avoid politics and are focused on integrating the blockchains that we believe best match user demand. As a (former) top 10 coin, we had $BSV integration in our dev roadmap. We have removed it, only because we feel like nobody will be interested in transacting it.

and many more to come. Imagine Craig’s face right now...

So it has begun,  .

CW always chooses the wrong fight. I think more exchange will join the picture to removed all this fork bitcoin in their backyard. And so Kraken has officially delisted BSV thru their blog:

https://blog.kraken.com/post/2274/kraken-is-delisting-bsv/

This aggression will not stand. Alongside other upstanding members of the community, and in consultation with more than 70,000 Kraken users, we have decided to delist Bitcoin SV. Deposits will be disabled April 22. Trading will cease on all trading pairs April 29. Withdrawals will continue until May 31.

[BitHodler]

It's funny how all the BSV maximalists are still pretending to not be bothered by this, while their life savings are taking a massive plunge. Mass delisting + bad PR = bye bye for nChain and CoinGeek.

The sad thing about this is that genuine developers due to contractual agreements with these assholes, can't move to other platforms, so they have to continue going through this till the price bottoms out just over of under $25.

Once again a reminder that you should cash out fork coins directly after the split. I held some BTG just in case it would pump hard, but that turned out to be a very bad decision.

[Kemarit]

BSV is really taking a big hit when Binance started this sort of "delisting campaign" on them. Kraken official say's it will also de-list them and it will have domino effect. I'm assuming that it could also benefit Bitcoin price here, specially if you are really smart, dump that BSV and then move everything to Bitcoin market. And wait, blockchain.com also joined as well, (https://twitter.com/OneMorePeter/status/1117870179944259584).

[klaaas]

It seems the sentiment got a big part in it with the delisting. A bit worrying if X coin got delisted and the rest is following that rapidly.

[bitmover]

Forks are mostly made to make creators rich. This is no exception.

Sad for the people who were scammed by that, losing their money.

[o_e_l_e_o]

I really have mixed feelings about this.

On one hand, SV is a prime shitcoin, CSW is a fraud, and it should never have come to the coin being delisted, because it should never have been listed in the first place. I'm glad to see the back of it.

But on the other hand, I'm a little bit uncomfortable with a handful of individuals having such power over the market. What if CZ announced tomorrow that he thinks BCH is the future and Binance will be delisting BTC? (A ridiculous hypothetical I know, but the metaphor still stands.) Why should these few individuals get to choose which coins are "allowed" to continue and which will die?

[Yaunfitda]

Either of the two did it because they know how fraud Craig Wright is, meaning they have a good intention delisting this shitcoin.

So I don't think that they will do it just because they wanted to, so I doubt that they will exercise they kind of power again. They didn't choose it, the people has spoken, in case of Kraken with majority voted to de-list it as well.

There is already a petition going on here, https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/delist-bch-from-all-exchanges

I don't know if this will hold grounds for now. And I'm sure Roger Ver is keeping low profile right now, he doesn't want to be involved with this BSV delisting otherwise he will attract attention and soon will be the target of bitcoin cleaning, so to speak.

Unlike the chicken fiddler Calvin Ayre, and the well known liar and pest Craigy, Roger Ver has a lot of money invested in long standing companies like Kraken, Blockchain.com and others. I don't know how much autonomy they have but getting rid of BSV is a piece of piss in comparison. It's a watery, yellowy/green shitcoin.

Bcash is less clearly the sole pet of two anuses too. There are more anuses involved.

[o_e_l_e_o]

So I doubt that they will exercise they kind of power again.

Sure, but I'm uncomfortable they even have that power to begin with. The whole point of crypto was to move away from money being centralized, and other people having control over your funds. Now sure, these are private companies and can delist whatever they like, but having such power over the market with no oversight makes me a bit uneasy.

I can't see BCH ever being delisted unless Ver goes wild like CSW has. Coins which are even scammier than BCH like Bitconnect and EOS haven't been delisted on the basis of "scaminess" alone. It took CSW trying to sue people over nonsense for SV to be delisted.
