How can you, Satoshi Nicholson, who is “not short of money”, destroy Bitmain?

There are less than 3 days left before the BCH network upgrade. Under the watchful eyes of the public, this fork war that has been going on since August is finally coming to a decent conclusion.

This fork dispute is different from the past. In the past, BTC forks were peaceful and harmonious, and the differences were only in technical discussions. But this time, the gunpowder smell has spread several kilometers before the cannon has been fired. The BCH community is in chaos, and the leaders of the two factions are also sparing no effort to curse each other, and there is no lack of words such as "low-class people" and "garbage" in their remarks.

As the " loud talker " of the BSV faction, Craig Wright will not miss this kind of session. His daily tweets are either diss Wu Jihan or diss Bitmain. In yesterday's exclusive interview with @星球日报, Craig Wright also spared no effort and made many amazing statements.

Everyone says I'm a liar, but I'm rich

I once saw a sentence like this: "The more you lack something, the more you show off it." It may not apply to all situations, but Craig Wright did repeatedly emphasize in the interview: I have money, I am a billionaire.

In order to prove his status as a billionaire, Craig Wright showed off his luxury cars and villas. The same thing happened on Twitter before, when Twitter users questioned whether he had that much wealth, Craig Wright showed off a luxury yacht.

There is nothing special about a yacht, and it is not uncommon for rich people to have toys like it, but careful netizens found something strange about it.

First of all, the resolution of this photo is obviously lower than other photos in Craig Wright's Twitter account. Secondly, Craig Wright is Australian, but he has an Icelandic flag on his yacht. Someone put this photo into an image search engine for a reverse search and was surprised to find that this yacht photo was from a public photo library.

Is this just a random picture that Craig Wright picked up to fool everyone?

Of course, we don’t know whether it is true or not. Anyway, Craig Wright did not answer any of the netizens’ questions, so there is basically no evidence.

However, based on Craig Wright's personal resume on Wikipedia, he is an Australian computer scientist and businessman, chief scientist of nChain, and has worked in information technology in many companies, including OzEmail, K-Mart and the Australian Stock Exchange, serving as CEO and some important positions. Logically, his wealth is still considerable.

In the words of one forum user: I don't doubt that he is rich, it's just that he takes every opportunity to show off and exaggerates his wealth as much as he can , perhaps thinking that this makes him look more credible and convincing, but in reality he is just annoying.

I want to use money to destroy Bitmain and Wu Jihan

After reading Craig Wright's head-on statement, I believe many people are as curious as I am: Regardless of whether it can be realized, what is the grudge between him and Jihan Wu? Must he be killed and made to "finish all the lawsuits at the age of 85 and go bankrupt "?

The only intersection between Craig Wright and Jihan Wu may be BCH. After all, the BCH fork dispute also stems from the disagreement on network upgrades, but this "disagreement" has now escalated to a white-hot stage, and no one can compromise. Either one chain survives and the other chain returns to zero, or a hard fork occurs directly.

As the saying goes, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

Many voices in the BCH community have expressed that they " simply hate Jihan Wu " because Wu Jihan controls too much computing power, like a dictator. If this continues, "Bitcoin Cash" can be directly renamed "Bitmain Cash".

In the decentralized blockchain world, whoever has more computing power has more say, but will also become the target of public criticism. The existence of mining tyrants poses a direct threat to them. Once Wu Jihan decides to do something to BCH, no one can stop him.

What can be concluded is that Wu Jihan has already touched the cheese of a certain interest group, so even if he kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred of his own, Craig Wright will go bankrupt and pull Wu Jihan off the throne.

As for whether this piece of cheese belongs to the big consortium behind Craig Wright or the BSV supporters, it is unknown. In short, this fork dispute has begun to become a money-burning showdown between mining tyrants and consortiums .

I don't buy computing power, my computing power is enough to win this battle

Querying the data on coin.dance, it is found that the BCH computing power has changed again in the past 7 days——

The total computing power of the three major players in the BSV camp has increased from 37% to 45%. Judging from the data alone, ABC is not dominant. This is also one of the reasons why Craig Wright is so confident, and he even tweeted a computing power chart.

There are also rumors that Wu Jihan’s mining farm in Xinjiang was cut off by the State Grid, and the 90,000 S9 mining machines originally deployed for the computing power war have become "duds."

Some people may ask, is Wu Jihan and Bitmain going to be in trouble? I can only say that such a thought is a bit naive.

Wu Jihan was listed on the Hurun Rich List with a net worth of 16.5 billion yuan. The 1 million Bitcoin Cash that Bitmain is going all in this time is definitely not their bottom line, and they cannot sit and wait for the BCH in their hands to be shorted to zero.

Judging from the data of the past few days, BSV has indeed gained the upper hand, and the data is still growing, but just like what Craig Wright said, "I am rich", the real trump card of Wu Jihan and Bitmain has not yet been played.

As we all know, BTC and BCH use the same algorithm, and the mining pools are interoperable. The computing power of Bitmain's BTC.com and AntPool mining pools alone accounts for 31% of the total Bitcoin network computing power, not counting ABC's ViaBTC, BTC.top and other mining pools.

Currently, Bitmain’s computing power on BTC is more than 10 times that on BCH. This means that once the computing power war begins, Bitmain can easily crush BSV by simply switching part of its computing power to BCH.

Craig Wright, known as the "Trump of the cryptocurrency world", is already notorious in the cryptocurrency world, and has made too many exaggerated remarks that have been refuted one after another.

However, this behavior of shouting "Down with mining tyrant Wu Jihan" while thinking about replacing Wu Jihan's position is indeed not very popular. It is difficult to guarantee that if he really becomes the powerful person, he will not do things that harm BCH and the community.

In short, the fork dispute that has lasted for so long has come to an end. The cryptocurrency community will wait and see who will be the winner and who will be the loser.
