I think people that have been in Bitcoin for a long time still have butt hurt over real reputational damage inflicted by CSW and BSV, so now it's a case of schadenfreude watching BSV collapse under its own weight.

But yeah, ignoring the history, apart from the CSW trial which is ongoing and still has real world impact such as banning the Bitcoin whitepaper in the UK, there's no reason to follow any of it. There are other shitcoin scam projects like Ethereum that are much more entertaining to watch as they die.

It's not about me being worried about a shitcoin, it's about the state. This project existing funds nyms getting sued for speaking their minds online. BSV is a great evil in this space, and I definitely enjoy watching that chain die while staring at it's block explorer.

The market did not choose Craig's fork, so Craig tried a different attack vector; having courts recognize his story. If he is to win, all BTC usage, as well as, for example, simple things like posting the White Paper on a website, could be eventually illegal. He is also entirely on board with making a Bitcoin that is regulated and censorable on the protocol level.

Eventually, Bitcoin becoming illegal was always going to happen. But, every year that we get until that happens greatly increases our chances of success. Matt Odell believes Bitcoin is inevitable, but it remains to be seen if we will have a free Bitcoin, or a dystopian one.

If it were only the market deciding which chain will win, I would have no worries. However, BSV, along with a few chains that fund lobbying against POW, are trying to use the state against us. The final battle was never going to be between Bitcoin and a shitcoin, but Bitcoin and the state. So when I see BSV getting taken out, I see the state losing ground in the battle.
