The origin story of Bitcoin is the craziest thing ever if you think about it.
A mysterious genius emerges from the shadows of the net, invents the most disruptive technology since the internet, and then quietly disappears without leaving a single trace.

All your fiat based assets are ultimately secured by the same legal system that today made it illegal for me to host the Bitcoin whitepaper because a notorious liar swore before a judge that he's Satoshi. A system where 'justice' depends on who's got the bigger wallet.

Bitcoin Cash isn't Bitcoin. If it was, it wouldn't need to change address scheme, or add EDA, or add replay protection. Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin. There's no shame in accepting that. Post-truth politics from narcissists like Roger Ver should be ignored.

Something seems to be happening with BSV. Every major exchange, and now even the liquidity providers are abandoning it. Perhaps related to the 51% attack.
It's interesting to watch a cryptocurrency collapse in real time. People can't even sell. Deposits disabled everywhere.
URGENT NOTICE: Our liquidity providers have just informed us that, due to several large exchanges disabling BSV deposits & withdrawals, they are also suspending access to BSV liquidity until further notice. 1/3
