The two masterminds behind Bitcoin S.V. are once again changing the narrative around Bitcoin; Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre claim that Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision is the one and only 'true' version of Bitcoin.
Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre are former Bitcoin Cash loyalists that split from the cryptocurrency to form their own coin, Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision.
In a fashion similar to Bitcoin Cash's fork with Bitcoin, the disagreements between Craig Wright and Roger Ver culminated in a bloody split.
"Bitcoin Satoshi Vision is today the only Bitcoin implementation that follows Satoshi Nakamoto's original whitepaper for Peer to Peer Electronic Cash. Bitcoin BSV is the only major public blockchain that maintains the original vision for Bitcoin as fast, frictionless, electronic cash."
Such a narrative is similar to the one Roger Ver has constructed around Bitcoin Cash, who alleges that BCH is the 'true' version of Bitcoin that Satoshi Nakamoto had intended, and that BCH is "The version of Bitcoin that has the most Bitcoin-ness about it."
"All the anti-scaling forces who were in the Bitcoin world have carved themselves away from Bitcoin and have their own altcoin which no longer has the original Bitcoin economic model."
At the heart of BSV coalition's argument is once again what caused Bitcoin Cash to split from Bitcoin Core-the block size limit.
Opponents of big blocks say that the hard fork needed to implement big blocks could be catastrophic to Bitcoin and that such an upgrade exposes the Bitcoin network to attacks and higher levels of centralization.
Now, Bitcoin S.V. wants to pull a Bitcoin Cash on its predecessor.
Ayre goes on to say that Bitcoin S.V. is the cryptocurrency that will liberate Bitcoin from the "Dictatorial protocol developer teams" who control the canonical blockchain.
