What a beautiful time to be alive. Bitcoin is less than $75 right now, and Satoshi is back.

Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision) is a fork of BTC/BCH which specifically restores the original protocol and economic system. BSV has one of the most active dev communities, although not for actual client/protocol development; rather, they are building software on top.

In the SV implementation of the Bitcoin system, one can use the blockchain as an immutable file store, a capability that was removed from BTC for fear of "spam". Every day there are hundreds of pictures, songs, poems and Bible verses posted directly to the chain. You can also host websites on-chain this way:

In the long term, BSV is building out what is called the Metanet. "What we are going to actually create is a secure alternative to the Internet, built on the blockchain. The Internet becomes a sidechain to the Bitcoin blockchain. The Metanet is a value network—the entire global system of online activity and data connected commercially."

Many of us have abandoned the shitcoin trading life and are learning to build on SV. Join us!

I won't attempt to prove CSW is Satoshi here, but I will say this: I learned more about Bitcoin from listening to all his talks than anything else in the past five years. Do not underestimate Craig.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is BTC, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
