Bitcoin is today what the internet was decades ago
If Roger Ver, a pioneer in bitcoin and has a vast knowledge regarding its ins and outs, questions Craig Wright's knowledge on the technicalities and intricacies of several aspects of their (SV) implementation, why would I even trust the guy based on my own knowledge about it? And no, what Ver stated isn't an attack to Wright due to the hash wars, but he noticed this a while back while they are still in good terms. But to think that Wright has a lot of hash power on his arsenal, he can, at will, toy with bitcoin and BCH just to prove a point, but that doesn't make him any smarter by pointing a 'flaw' that developers and the community have overlooked in years of developing bitcoin.

Of course, bitcoin is far from perfect, but then again it has managed to withstand several conflicts and crashes on its almost 10 years of existence. Bitcoin is far from being over, and most of the community have already called out Wright for whatever he's doing to the cryptosphere right now.

Roger Ver has become a full blown Shill for ABC and their WHC/Plasma scheme, financial incentives i guess. CSW knows more about bitcoin than most, he understands that bitcoin is an economic system and for it to work for the world it has to scale on chain.

Leave no FUD unchallenged
the event happened august 2017... so use your eyes. dont use live data for a historic event thats already passed

(...)

how about go look at the stats of 2017..

The Bitcoin network does not care about your unique interpretation of stats from August 2017.  The BTC chain has reached consensus on each and every day since that "event".  Your opinions on the matter are irrelevant.  You don't seem to comprehend the fact that softforks are permitted.  Softforks do not bypass consensus.  If you think they do, it might be wise for you to find another network where softforks aren't permitted and use that instead, rather than just whining about it all the time.  None of your FUD and attempts to re-write history changes what actually happened.  SegWit was activated because consensus was reached.  If that's not how you see it, you clearly don't share the same definition of the word "consensus" as the network does.  That's your problem, not ours.


but as i said in other topics.. stop meandering to turn things into social drama..

the topics is about someone saying about possibility of the end of bitcoin.
i mentioned about bitcoin, what could end it(being number 1). and craig

if you dont like it. ignore me and move on.

Yes, Franky1, we've all noticed your immense talent for taking topics that aren't directly discussing SegWit and LN and twisting them to suit your propaganda and FUD.  All it took was someone to mention that CSW has been taking shots at LN, for you to treat that as an invitation for you to join CSW in doing exactly the same (talking a load of easily debunked crap, that is).  Why are you meandering?  Here it is, just in case you need some help in understanding the plain and simple fact that YOU are the one who, as always, takes the thread off-topic:

but with that said.

LN is not a bitcoin payment system.
LN is a separate payment system for multiple coins.

now if the bitcoin network doesnt innovate the bitcoin network to be usable and cheap (i mean the actual bitcoin network).

 people will deposit bitcoins into LN. play around on LN but not want to get BTC back(slow confirms, only ~2k tx per block, higher fee's than many countries min wage). people will instead want to exit LN via an altcoin thats cheaper and faster.

its exactly like 19th century gold.
deposit gold into a payment network.. play with unaudited receipts of 'promised'(but not guaranteed) ownership(old bank notes). and at the end take out copper brass nickel metals(pennys, quarters)

This is what you do.  You derailed the topic from people talking about CSW and changed it to taking pot shots at LN/SegWit/softforks/devs/etc just like you do in most of the topics you post in.  You're not even subtle about it anymore.  Given even the slightest opportunity, even when it's nothing to do with the topic, you'll start blathering on about "social drama", "consensus bypass", "mandatory upgrade", "tyranny", "developer control" and all your other tedious bullshit catchphrases.  You don't get to talk about "meandering" (your latest catchphrase) when that's all you ever do.  I'm not putting you on ignore, because trolls need shooting down.  However, I strongly encourage everyone else reading this to put you on ignore.  You're the same breed of vile toxic waste as Craig "Scammer" Wright.  Anyone reading this thread can see that.

LN clearly won't end Bitcoin.  It's actually a bigger threat to the altcoins that split away and refuse to support it (which leads me to believe that's why you're so strongly opposed to it, just like CSW).  Bitcoin is going to be fine.  All the people who want to use altcoins because it's faster and cheaper are already doing so, because they've had that option ever since altcoins appeared on exchanges.  All LN and atomic swaps will do, in regard to the altcoins that support it, is provide a safer option for those who wish to do that.  It will be better for the entire crypto-community once centralised exchanges aren't so heavily relied upon.  I'm sorry if you don't approve, because it's happening anyway.  No one is forcing you to use it, so I suggest you respect the fact that some people want to.  There's nothing you can do to stop them.

If you think BTC's speed and fees are so horrific and are genuinely convinced that Bitcoin is going to end because of Lightning, then clearly it's only prudent for you to sell every single satoshi you own and go find a new community to troll.  But we all know you won't, because you're just talking shit, like always.

Craig Wright is a Psychopath. He displays all the classic symptoms. He uses fear to manipulate peoples emotions to get what he wants. I wouldn't be caught supporting anything this person is associated with.  

He basically said, if I cannot get "my" version of BCH I am willing to take everything down - SAMSON OPTION

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

Pretty sure mental institutions are full of people who made similar threats and did not have nuclear submarines for self protection LOL   Grin

And that is why I would not want to own BCHSV, even if it wins the hashwar, because I would never feel safe. If he is successful now, he can do anything to BCHSV in the future. Blacklisting, freezing, enforce KYC, haircut, risk of going to zero in a mad hashwar, ?,?,? ........ really the idea of investing into a CSW coin gives me the willies, literally  Shocked

He's also filing patents for his version of the block chain and lawyering up to sue anyone he can. He is trying to take over and control BCH by force and call himself the creator of the true bitcoin. If you take a look at his twitter posts you can clearly see this person is an angry hate filled psychopath. After watching his BBC interview I don't understand how anyone can get behind this guy. He is clearly a lier, angry, and evil. He is one of the most unlikeable people I have ever seen.

That loser claimed to be Satoshi (but of course never bothered to sign a message from the genesis address..); he has no credibility and can't even write properly.

be constructive or S.T.F.U
Craig is sick and needs immediate care , really.  while promoting for his bitcoin cash SV (shit version) he brings up all kind of fud and bullshit about dumping BTC for hashing power , then goes about flaws in SegWit that he will reveal next year on twitter , a few days later while is he losing the hash-war he signs a valid signature for Satoshi’s key from block no 9 telling the same bullshit about SegWit, without revealing  the actual preimage for the hash of that message, thinking that everyone is so stupid to take this signature for a proof that he is Satoshi.

all he does is spread fud/rumors that suit his interest, if he suddenly changes his mind and invest deeply in BTC you will see all kind of new behavior talking about how BTC is going to 1 million in 2 weeks.

Do not panic, BTC has some of the world best programmers/coders/developers on it's side. if anything was that bad , they would have fixed it long before Craig sees it in his dreams.

I think, his statement can make panic, especially beginners, and that affects the crypto market.
if the battle between BCHABC vs BCHVS does not stop, then the bitcoin will fall deeper.

Will Bitcoin end when the bitcoin inventory is still left?
honestly, I was surprised by this prediction, if bitcoin will end next year, I think there will be a coin that replaces the position of bitcoin? Will ETH replace bitcoin?

community didnt choose.
remember your love for "compatible" nodes. that dont need to upgrade.
that does not mean consensus occured, that means consensus got by passed

Use your eyes:

lol your soo funny.

the event happened august 2017... so use your eyes. dont use live data for a historic event thats already passed

its like politics.  recent stats show that tories polled the population and lost.
but history shows they passed the election
(using live data to explain history, just doesnt work)

history shows that when you were 1yo you wore a nappy. yep today you could show you have accepted that wearing boxers is to be expected. but doesnt mean that you didnt wear a nappy in the past.

yea i know what ur thinking. what does ur history of being a baby have to do with it.. well thats the point, you being a baby has nothing to do with bitcoin

how about go look at the stats of 2017..

oh and um yea.. people may update their nodes now because there now nothing to lose or gain because the decision is done and over with a year ago.. but if you look at the last 12 months of UXTO movements. segwit is no where near majority. majority of people just aint using it. even after a year.. yep. same ~35-40%... not 80-100

even funnier even sipa is still displaying legacy addresses for his donations and tips

but as i said in other topics.. stop meandering to turn things into social drama..

the topics is about someone saying about possibility of the end of bitcoin.

On top of that, with services using Schnorr, Bitcoin's throughput will increase significantly, which means that there will be more available blockspace without actually increasing the block size. This is scaling. Increasing the block size is a poor mans way of dealing with a problem.

schnorr is not to increase throughput
its actually when people no longer just do legacy transactions due to high fee's and instead need to use multisigs for LN. schnorr is there to attempt to shrink the bloat of (in the future) more popular used multisigs, which would reduce tx/block if schnorr was not used.

EG
imagine average tx was 250byte
multisig was 500byte

when multisig becomes more popular. LESS transactions could fit.
(easy math. legacy=upto 4k.. multisig only 2k)

so schnorr reduces the tx bytes to bring it down to the utility to normal legacy levels.. not to increase scaling.. just prevent decrease.

open a spreadsheet and do some math.

Users and miners determine consensus.  It cannot be "backtracked" (did you get bored of saying "bypassed"?) because that's something that can only happen in your fantasy la-la-land.
if the community wished for something different, they'd be running different code.  You're the one who is ignoring community wishes because you don't respect the choice the community has already made.

community didnt choose.
remember your love for "compatible" nodes. that dont need to upgrade.
that does not mean consensus occured, that means consensus got by passed as it didnt require an opt-in to vote yes
again you love that the core didnt need permission. you said it many times.
you spend a month yammring on about it.. no point continuing your "trust a dev campaign"

anyway
long story short.
craig and ver are just social dramatists and its real funny how some people want to avert peoples gaze away from real influencers (Devs and investor ownership control)
all this social drama stuff seems to just want to distract people away from the real causes of events in the hope it sends sheep to sleep long enough to not realise the real changes being made that really affect the bitcoin network

the devs that say bitcoins blockchain cant scale
It can scale, and it already did with Segwit. That poisonous entities in this space have different opinions and knowingly block adoption isn't the fault of the developers.

its these devs that have caused the issues such as onchain scaling delays, fee wars and other things.
There are no issues in terms of on-chain scaling, that's only how opposing parties see it. I won't say that high fees are ideal, but it's a convenient way to let the ecosystem get used to it, because who's going to pay miners when the block rewards aren't cutting it anymore? You know what makes Bitcoin mining still interesting today during this bear market? Its fees.

On top of that, with services using Schnorr, Bitcoin's throughput will increase significantly, which means that there will be more available blockspace without actually increasing the block size. This is scaling. Increasing the block size is a poor mans way of dealing with a problem.

ver and wright are just social face drama. and not actual influencers
which again is why i find it funny that fingers get pointed as such drama queen, instead of people actually being aware of the reality.
Bitmain and Ver are balls deep into this space financially, while Craig The Scammer is in it with his mouth and ego. Paying attention to Craig is a convenient way to waste time.

bitcoin merchant adoption has DROPPED.

funny part is, it was your own words that highlighted that you know it. because in previous topics you admitted that coinbase and bitpay had to diversity their merchant payment tools to include altcoins because merchants were moving away from bitcoin

Link?  Chances are, you either didn't understand my post or you're deliberately trying to twist the meaning of whatever it was I said.  There's nothing wrong with merchants diversifying, because that doesn't mean they've moved away from Bitcoin.  Show me a merchant that accepts all the major altcoins but not Bitcoin.  Assuming you can find one, I don't think they'll stay in business very long.

Other coins succeeding doesn't mean that Bitcoin is failing.  There's enough success to go around.  It's not realistic to expect one cryptocurrency to be perfect at everything.  Altcoins will naturally serve some niches in the market.  That's perfectly healthy.  Why fight it?


now customers when they go to merchants that accept crypto. get presented with a shopping cart that lets users choose which coin to pay with.
its no longer just bitcoin..

but hey all i see is lack of substance in your reply and just an insult.

come on atleast admit people do use other coins. im not saying th 99% of crap coins. but i mean the main ones like ethereum, litecoin for example.

What's wrong with people using other coins?  Of course people use them.  I have no problem with that.  I'm looking forward to atomic swaps, as I've already explained to you on numerous occasions.  Why would I be looking forward to atomic swaps if I didn't want people using other coins?  Try to keep up.

You're the one saying that we shouldn't have LN because it would somehow promote other coins.  I'm the one saying it won't promote other coins any more than exchanges already do.  
You're the one saying Bitcoin is too slow and too expensive.  I'm the one saying it's not a problem because Bitcoin has the strongest security and network effects and it's still fast and cheap enough to be useful.
You're the one saying other coins being accepted by merchants is bad news for Bitcoin.  I'm the one saying "who cares?" because there's literally nothing wrong with that.  

Stop whining about insults and come up with better arguments.  Or better yet, click that 'ignore' button you're so fond of pointing out lately.  I'm going to keep shooting down your FUD all the while you continue to make that such an easy task by being such a lousy debater.


Speaking of lousy arguments:


the devs that say bitcoins blockchain cant scale

It can scale, but not by merely tinkering with the blocksize and pretending that somehow fixes everything.  It doesn't.  And there are costs for doing that.


the devs that backtrack out of consensus

Users and miners determine consensus.  It cannot be "backtracked" (did you get bored of saying "bypassed"?) because that's something that can only happen in your fantasy la-la-land.


the devs that chang code for personal benefit while ignoring community wishes

If the community wished for something different, they'd be running different code.  You're the one who is ignoring community wishes because you don't respect the choice the community has already made.

Extra point; BitPay didn't diversify, their BCash listing is purely the result of Bitmain's and Roger's influence. They will do whatever they can to block any other coin, because we all know (even with his hash war that costs them like $0.5-$1 million per day) that they don't mind losing money. It's a political battle for them.

nope bitpay and coinbases influence was due to having owners DCG.CO

DCG want LN (an independant network) for multiple coins.
they paid blockstream to invent segwit.. community said no from november 16-summer 17
so they paid BLOQ for segwitx2. they paid samson mow, luke jr and others for UASF to push segwit through as mandatory

if you follow the money you will see it.

I think that you are out to discredit Bitcoin whenever you can.

nope. i promote bitcoin. but i will discredit developers who wish to mess negatively with the bitcoin network
you know.
the devs that say bitcoins blockchain cant scale
the devs that backtrack out of consensus
the devs that chang code for personal benefit while ignoring community wishes

if you separate certain devs from the term "bitcoin" and see the concern for the network vs devs. you will understand that i am promoting the network but discrediting certain devs.

its these devs that have caused the issues such as onchain scaling delays, fee wars and other things.

remember devs are temporary, devs are replacable. there is no point defending a dev and letting them mess with the network because you want to "trust a dev" that just shows you care more for a dev than for the network

highlighting the issues the network has is not discrediting it.
its to raise awareness and to hope people wake up and start being concerned about the network issues to hopefully try to push it to get them sorted. to improve bitcoin..

but hey. those that play the "hug and defend a dev" games will always continue to distract people from the real causes of issues and point fingers to social dramatists as the cause

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
Everything everyone says comes from a position of motivated self interest. I’ve seen statements from the most trusted founding pillars of bitcoin that end up being pure crap. Forum admin, devs, mining kingpins, business leaders and everyone in between all lie to protect their own best interest.

You need to ask yourself, “what does he have to gain”. Then you’ll know the truth.

At first I thought the answer to that question was simple, because he just want to scare Bitcoin (BTC) investors in an attempt to get as much people as possible to sell their coins and to buy Bitcoin CashSV, but I think the answer is a lot more complex. The guy has a serious God complex and in his mind he is Satoshi Nakamoto, so he wants to destroy all other coins that does not adhere to his vision of what Bitcoin should be.

The real Satoshi Nakamoto never said that Alt coins or competing coins should be destroyed and I doubt that he/she/they would want that to happen. This is just empty threats and FUD being created by the master scammer.  Roll Eyes

Yep, I think you nailed it.

Craig Wright is Wrong!

If you are the creator of Bitcoin, how come you tell so much about it? why let the whole world know you?

As I can see, the real satoshi is so humble with a japanese culture with him, not a scumbag who tries to scam people.
