Topic: Roger Ver: ‘Maybe I’ve Been Fooled’ by Craig Wright - page 2. (Read 429 times)

there really isn't that much difference between Roger Ver and Craig Wrigt as far as i can tell!

they both saw bitcoin and wanted to make a lot of money out of it. to do that they started their own coin that they fully control (aka bitcoin cash) then since Ver had more control Wright wanted to create his own coin (aka bitcoin SV). when Ver says he was fooled, he is actually saying that their partnership is now over since CW went another way.

i don't see anything new here either! this has been the story for years. nearly as old as bitcoin itself. people see bitcoin's success and want in. these people copy bitcoin and create their own shitcoin out of it. then pump and dump it for a while to make millions. depending on how long it survives they stick around for that long then move on to a new shitcoin, rinse and repeat.
while people are blinded by the drama the bank account of these people is growing.

Wright has always been nuts.

Anyone that supposedly owns ~7% of Btc & bcash and can't move 1 bitcoin to prove it. (Lame!)

Sorry but Wright is too lame to be the original satoshi. 
With the ego Wright has , no way in hell he could have kept quiet for as long as satoshi has.

Pretty sure you mean compared to what you desire, which isn't remotely like anything the community desires.  The community don't desire EC.  ~38 nodes want that.  A drop in the ocean.

The Ver/Wright drama might be totally inane and irrelevant, but don't whine about it just because we're not paying any attention to the social drama you're trying to create from nothing because you have a petty vendetta against certain devs.  Your drama is equally worthless.

ROFL!! We have two persons in this entire story, one who claims to be Satoshi and the other one who claims to be carrying forward the vision of Satoshi!!

So two wannabe Satoshis are fighting in the open about an altcoin knows as "BCH".

Why bother discussing about an altcoin in this section?

more social drama that has nothing to do with the protocol /code..

Yawn
is this a bitcoin forum or a kardashian forum?
it seems lately anyone talking about technical issues of the protocol or concerns about utility wants to turn it into a social debate about talking and finger pointing at people that are on an altcoin that was not even coded by th people (ver wright) of that altcoin

1. ver didnt code cash
2. wright didnt code cash
3. cash is a different coin.
4. why talk about it

its so funny the finger pointing of distraction and buzzwords get used.

for instance pretending Wu has control of "51% china"
  myth bust: most pools tagged as "china" are not actually in china. even the half dozen facilities tagged as 'antpool' are not run in china or managed by Wu (some facilities even use bech32 addresses for coinreward which proves the diversity
  myth bust: a pool can have 99.9% hashpower but still not change the protocol. ultimately they just choose what transactions to collate or not collate. if they made a block that doesnt fit the rules even with a super intense  99% hashpower. their block would just get rejected. wasting all th time and electric they put into that attempt..

for instance: ver and wright want to take over the network
mythbust: they dont code.. they are just PR guys that stand up and talk. code=rules.. social drama=sheep herding

so while some are trying to advertise this distraction of social drama.. maybe its worth ignoring it and instead concentrate on the code. if you want real social drama of actual importance. aim your eye at the devs that do code. and look at their beliefs compared to the communities desires
AND
see what changes to code are occuring that can affect people. because its become apparent. when there are code changes getting discussed in one area there has always been a social drama distraction 'event' in another area to sway peoples eyes away from code discussions

I am really not interested or bothered about this feud to any extent. And bringing the identity of satoshi into the argument further reduces the credence of the debate.
Am more concerned about how long BCH can sustain it's price after the planned fork.
Most people are buying in now for the free new tokens.

What type of game these two guys are trying to play? Roger Ver is trying to make people think that the fake Satoshi is the real one or what? Sorry, Roger Ver we know Craig Wright is not the real Satoshi, he is nothing but another faketoshi.

Early cryptocurrency adopter and outspoken Bitcoin Cash evangelist Roger Ver said that he is having second thoughts about his former alliance with self-described Bitcoin creator Craig Wright.

Ver, the owner of crypto wallet service and bitcoin cash mining pool Bitcoin.com, stated in a newly-uploaded YouTube video that Wright — whose firm, nChain, is the developer of BCH software implementation Bitcoin SV — had “fooled” him.

“It’s never easy to admit that you’ve been fooled, but maybe I’ve been fooled,” Ver said while sharing a screenshot of an email that Wright had allegedly sent him after he publicly backed BCH development group Bitcoin ABC — not Wright’s SV — in the debate over the impending BCH hard fork.

Wright allegedly wrote:

    “Side with ABC, you hate bitcoin, you are my enemy. You have f–king no idea what that means. You Will. I AM Satoshi. Have a nice life. You will now discover me when pissed off. And, no. You Could have had proof. Your choice. F–k you.”

Ver and Wright had already been feuding for several months in the lead-up to the hard fork, so it was no surprise when Ver publicly backed Bitcoin ABC’s vision for Bitcoin Cash — or when the characteristically-bombastic Wright lashed out by accusing Ver of wanting to promote child pornography.

    If @jihanwu, @Rogerver & ABC devs want to make #Permissionless Kiddie porn sites and Silk Road Version2.0

    They can piss off to #Dash

    They are NOT adding this to #BCH

    This is the ONLY real use case they have and it is not happening!

    — Dr Craig S Wright (@ProfFaustus) November 8, 2018

Hover, Ver claimed that his spat with Wright is about more than personal insults and political differences. He said that, over time, he had become skeptical about Wright’s technical acumen.

“Some things Craig says, I think are really spot on, but other things, he has no clue what he’s talking about,” Ver said, adding later that Wright had refused to engage in a technical debate at a recent BCH mining conference.

    “It seems strange to have Craig refuse to engage in any sort of technical debate there, and my suspicion at this point is that he can’t. And I’ve seen a bunch of things happen that make me skeptical — very, very, deeply skeptical.”

That’s a significant departure from comments about Wright that Ver has made in the past. While he had shied away from outright stating that he believes Wright is Satoshi, he had praised his vision for cryptocurrency as consistent with the one laid out in the Bitcoin whitepaper.

“Satoshi or not, the things Craig Wright is saying are exactly the things that caused me to sign up for Bitcoin in the first place,” Ver told Motherboard last year. “They are also the things that led to its success.”

Now, though, Ver said that even incontrovertible proof that Wright is Satoshi would do nothing to change his opinion of him or his vision for BCH. Paraphrasing Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Ver said that if Wright did turn out to be Satoshi, it would lower his opinion of Satoshi — not elevate his opinion of Wright.
