The BCH hard fork is imminent, and the computing power war is imminent. When this bloody storm is approaching, how do Jihan Wu, CSW, Roger Ver and other bigwigs in the currency circle respond, and what changes have taken place in their attitudes? Let's take a look at the sentient beings of these big guys.

Jihan Wu: I have a conspiracy theory...

Today, Wu Jihan said on Twitter: "From the very beginning, I have a conspiracy theory: CSW is a spy under the control of Blockstream." As soon as this remark came out, his Twitter exploded.

During the hard fork of Bitcoin in August last year, CSW, Wu Jihan, Bitcoin Jesus, Gavin and others chose to support BCH. Back then they had a common enemy: the Bitcoin Core developers. And Blockstream is one of the main companies that hire core developers. The company's CTO is Gregory Maxwell, the leader of Bitcoin core developers.

But this is not surprising, anyway, Bitmain and CSW are about to separate. The November fork is imminent, and one group of people will split into two groups, each going its own way. Prior to this, Wu Jihan also referred to CSW as "fake Satoshi Nakamoto" and the faction that believed in CSW as a "cult". Now he suspects that CSW is a spy sent by Blockstream to make trouble in the BCH camp. Strange.

Maxwell winking at CSW?

Saying that CSW is a spy sent by Blockstream is indeed too "conspiracy theory". But if it is said that Blockstream has spotted the moment when the BCH community is split and is winking at CSW, that is conclusive evidence.

Yesterday, CSW posted an email to him from Maxwell, the core developer of Bitcoin and CTO of Blockstream, on Twitter. The title of the email is "I think we may have a common interest", and the specific content that has been exposed is as follows:

I see it clearly now: Roger Ver (Bitcoin Jesus), Rick Falkvinge, Oliver Janssens, and Jihan Wu have all attacked you fiercely in public and tried to keep BCH and you at a distance. As far as I know, these people once had great trust in you.

The rift created by Peter Rizun (the head of BU, another big developer of BCH) and his staff seems to be growing at an exponential rate. These rifts are not only between you and the above-mentioned people, but also between Between you and those who have not previously been persuaded against you by any argument. It seems to me that the evidence that was previously in your favour, will soon turn into material that someone (like Gavin who once trusted you) will use to denounce you publicly and it will destroy everything about you and it's just a time issue.

It seems that the email titled "I think we may have a common interest" is more like a threatening letter. Maxwell intends to tell CSW: It is only a matter of time before your reputation is ruined and everyone is betrayed. The only thing you can do is to cooperate with me. Obviously CSW didn't want to cooperate with Maxwell, otherwise he would have agreed to do it secretly, and would not have shown this letter publicly. CSW didn't even want to reject him in secret, and must bring this matter up in public, which shows how big their differences are.

It turned out that this threatening letter was an offer to CSW, inviting CSW to join his work. Isn't this very similar to Qin's letter of persuasion to a certain country to disintegrate the alliance after seeing the rift between the six countries? Maxwell is indeed a good player in politics, the enemy of the enemy is a friend!

But CSW wasn't too happy about it. After all, he and Maxwell really had a long-term feud, and had said too many things against Blockstream before. If he accepts the offer, is he humiliating himself? (Gavin, who was kicked out of the Bitcoin community because he believed him, must have wanted to beat him to death with a hammer...)

Good news for Jihan Wu: Roger did not become a cult in the end

But Maxwell is right, CSW really doesn't have many allies to rely on.

According to previous reports from Cobra Cobra: In this hard fork of BCH, Bitcoin Jesus Roger Ver will choose CSW and abandon Bitmain and Bitcoin ABC. Cobra described the incident in such a tone at the time: "It is very disappointing that he finally gave up everyone's residual trust in him."

But after the Bangkok meeting, Roger Ver came to his senses, and he found that what he wanted to trace was not the path of CSW.

Now, the Bitcoin.com mining pool managed by Roger Ver has clearly announced that it will mine based on BU 1.5.0.0 and Bitcoin ABC 18.2. After the network upgrade, all services on Bitcoin.com will output via OP_CHECKDATASIG and send BCH. Roger Ver finally stood on the opposite side of CSW, and CSW was abandoned.

However, Wu Jihan believes that BCH is not BTC. BCH should come out of the shadow of BTC and go its own way, just like the United States became independent from the United Kingdom and stepped out of its own vast world. This propaganda caliber and concept conflicts with Roger's previous words. In the hard fork event last year, after all, he took real money and exchanged BTC for BCH. If what he exchanged was not real BTC, but something else, a new public chain, how should this be explained?

In this way, whether to follow CSW to retreat to the earliest era of Bitcoin and refuse to make progress, or to follow Bitcoin ABC and Bitmain and continue to move forward, the answer to the question is obviously opinion. On the contrary, if Roger Ver finally stands with CSW, who may be a liar, all his previous efforts will be in vain in the end. This is also what his former comrades-in-arms did not want to see.

Finally, backing CSW is Cobra?

Roger chose to leave CSW, but Cobra, who dissed him because he supported CSW before, became a supporter of CSW. This is even more amazing than CSW receiving Maxwell's offer.

In a tweet on November 2, Cobra wrote:

In the upcoming Bitcoin Cash fork, I will be running and supporting the Bitcoin SV version. We need to stop adding new features to Bitcoin immediately, and the Bitcoin SV version implements the protocol with minimal changes. We must ignore personal grievances and turn our energies to technology.

The way Bitmain controls and controls the Bitcoin Cash community and development must come to an end. They are trying to become a more powerful Blockstream, and their power keeps changing without consensus.

Let's free Bitcoin Cash from Bitmain's control! Let's give it back to the user, we can make a peer-to-peer electronic cash without Chinese monopoly. Now, SV is the right direction, and if SV gets corrupt too, we can finally initiate a fork from them too.

Although Cobra is a decentralized extremist, it is still unexpected to choose to go with CSW. It can be said that the plot has a magical turning point... (Cobra, what about the Cobra client you promised to launch before? Didn’t you still Did you get 25% of the computing power support from the miners?)

Apparently, in front of all the bigwigs and old people in the currency circle, CSW has already deserted all relatives, and only his old friend and billionaire Calvin Ayre, who made his fortune from gambling, still stand on the united front with him. Cobra's attitude confused the others, and Cobra had to respond to the confusion.
