Just a few days ago Bitcoin SV, also known as Satoshi's Vision pumped over 100% in mere minutes. I remember being surprised about it and researching the reasons, only to find out that Craig had filed for a copyright of the Bitcoin Whitepaper.
The legion of delusional followers drank up the kool aid as if it was laced with pcp for hours. I even got into some discussions on twitter regarding the insignificance (imo) of filing a copyright. As you may or may not know, anyone can file a copyright, but that does not guarantee that you will be given it or does it prove in this case that Craig is Satoshi.
Well, as life would have it the Copyright office here in the states released a press release. One that trashes Craigs claim all together. Now, you might be wondering. Is it normal for them to do press releases like this? And the answer is: Not at all.
You could say this is karma, and I would be inclined to agree. I for one can't help but to laugh at all the tribal dunces who are using the hashtag that gives this scammer his loudspeaker.
MenO
Copyrights are the exact opposite vision of what the real Satoshi Nakamoto was going for. Craig will go down in history as an unfunny joke. His reputation and honor will be stripped from all communities that truly believe in the tenants of decentralization.

Maybe you don't understand what "thrashed" means.

This is my point. They don't verify, thus can't assert his claim to be true.

You said they trashed his claims, and that's not at all what they did. I imagine they probably received overwhelming responses from people saying that "he's a liar" and so they felt the need to clarify that they don't verify claims, but at the end of it they choose to include that he claims so and they register it as such based on his claim. There's a giant difference between not verifying and thrashing claims that he is who he claims to be.

Fair enough. I guess my bias showed it's ugly mug there a bit.
My reaction is within the context of those who uttered, almost as a choir.
We win... The US Government accepts Craig as Satoshi.. it's a fact now
But as you said, their response is a little more passive than I've presented it.

I want to know what you think about bitcoin in regards to it being used as money and considering the exorbitant fees to transact. I don't care for Craig or the real Shitoshi btw, I care about functionality and I haven't followed the SV news or whatever, whoever is running Bitcoin /core development.

I think there's been a lot of things, a lot of products that started with one intention and with the passing of time morphed into something else.
At the expense of being a bit nasty, but to really drive my point home. Lysol started as a vaginal douche (no joke), now we clean counters with it. You could say that it survived because it adapted.
So, for me the original idea of Bitcoin is not sacred. That is to say, it's obvious that the market wanted and wants a new gold. Seems like BTC is becoming it. This could change of course, but we seem to be on course.
I don't think however that forks can't co-exist. To me this is not only fine, but probably necessary for the overall health of the ecosystem. People need to test things, people need to try to implement their own scaling solutions and may the best one win.
Do I think BTC is going to be used as currency in the future? Not at all, I think it's going to be used as our way to store our patrimony. Very much like we have today our savings (those who do at least), and we will use cryptocurrencies with inflationary algos for the day to day stuff.

So much would be gained from Core taking the next step and deciding: do we want store of value, or do we want fungibility as it seems that they don't want both and I agree with you on coexistence as well, it seems like every single day a new use case for blockchain is proposed and a lot of first movers won't be able to capitulate on the advantage as the competition is so thick and what seems to work is getting the most exposure out there. It seems that eos dwarfed ETH before it was even released and it continues to do so, despite that ETH has had a few years headstart.

Yes, I think EOS gets hate because of Larimer's political inclinations. Which to me are bening, but to some they are too disruptive.
But, to say EOS sucks because Larimer is a scammer(Which is argued by some). Is to completely miss the point of decentralization while claiming to be part of this new movement.
Full disclosure, I do have a little bag of EOS. Nothing too crazy. But I see it succeeding a lot more than I see Ether. At least at this point in time.

Yeah he never moved an original Bitcoin, until then he is a lier! I don't know what that guys problem, even if he was Satashi there is no need to copyright Bitcoin! I really don’t get it and dont get the copyright office!
His coin went up 100 % just proves people are idiots! lol none of it makes sense. Why would Satashi go anomyous and then spend half a decade trying to prove he is who he was trying to day he wasn’t???!

I find it funny that he is copywriting BTC when he claims BSV was his true vision lol... If he really created BTC to follow his egotistical vision, satoshi would have never just vanished from the scene, he would have gotten progressively more and more dominant and controlling which is the opposite of what happened.

It doesn’t really matter as nobody can own bitcoin protocol as it is decentralized and the community that uses it, in all ways, determines its value.
