Stop spreading misinformation. Bitcoin SV is restoration of the original protocol. BSV can do thousands of transactions per second whereas btc can do only 4. They both share same blockchain until 2017. Now think again, what will real businesses choose, a crippled fake bitcoin (btc) or massively scalable real bitcoin (bsv)?

Bitcoin SV is not Bitcoin. It looks like a sophisticated attempt to co-opt "Satoshi's Vision", and in doing so, delegitimize real contenders to BTC, like Bitcoin Cash.

The rhetoric used to promote Bitcoin SV is very similar to that used to promote Bitcoin Cash, but it also adds a lot of anti-cypherpunk arguments like anonymity being criminal, censorship being in line with the original purpose of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin being meant to operate under the centralized control of governments:

All of the founding documents of Bitcoin directly refute these fraudulent claims.

Who cares? It's all BitCoin. Bottle is cool. Unwriter is cool. Everything you said is just political mumbo jumbo that has nothing to do with BitCoin and everything to do with the ideological neuroses of the BTC developers.

Nobody uses BTC seriously besides criminals and hobbyists. You can't blame them for making a more efficient version of the same system.

What I said has everything to do with Bitcoin. Things like anonymity and resistance to government control are central to the purpose of Bitcoin. I have no idea what the basis of your claim, that "Satoshi's Vision"'s anti-Bitcoin ethos don't matter to its categorization as Bitcoin, is.
