Well....
1) I dunno. The pervasive narrative in this here space is that everything out of Craig's mouth is either: a lie, or; simply wrong. As such, how could anything he say undermine the legitimacy of the sector?
OTOH, if he has the capability to carry out such a threat, how would his huge advance warning not be a good thing?
2) I dunno again. Before vanishing, Satoshi revealed very little of his personal proclivities. I see no evidence therein to support the notion that he might not use his substantial war chest in order to tilt the market in favor of what he perceives as the more faithful rendition of his ideals. What exactly am I missing in his writings?
But if he crashes the market, BSV will also go down with it.
My guess is that he wants people to have some doubt and hedge in BSV just in case he crashes the market. But their fork war with BCH brought every coin down, including BSV.
No, if CSW has keys to Satoshi's stash BSV definitely will not go down. As far as the video, text is over 6months old, and looks like just FUD with no proof that CSW even said that. What the idiots that believe it fail to realize is that even if he has access to the private keys:
1-He can't cash in those coins because of the ongoing Kleiman lawsuit.
2-Once that lawsuit is over, the market will crash hard the second the transaction from Satoshi's stash is advertised, by the time he gets his first confirmation to the exchange, market would flash crash
3-He'd have 20 lawyers lined up at his door with lawsuits before he gets his second confirmation
4-Tax authority would be at his door before third confirmation
5-As far as destroying BTC I literally cannot think of a dumber thing to do for someone who has
BTC1MM
6-If this would to happen, BTC would just fork, adjusting difficulty and freezing his coins (you gotta be pretty retarded to think that people who believe in BTC would just give up and switch to BSV to blindly follow the leader "Satoshi"). This is bitcoin, we trust in math not in deities.
This actually got me thinking of how a sane person would try to cash out while trying to maximize profits.
1-Create you own fork
2-Short BTC to the max
3-When interest is peaked (before halfening), announce that you currently only have access to 25% of the stash which will be auctioned off in 10 blocks. First auction being x months from now (what FBI did)
4-Profit
