As the creator of Bitcoin, I must say that Bitcoin Satoshi Version (BSV) is not my true vision. While I believe that it's important for the Bitcoin protocol to evolve and improve over time, I do not agree with the direction that BSV has taken.
Specifically, the decision to increase the block size limit to 2 gigabytes runs counter to my original vision for Bitcoin, which was to create a decentralized, peer-to-peer electronic cash system with a relatively small block size. This size constraint ensures that transactions can be processed quickly and efficiently, allowing for widespread adoption of the currency.
Furthermore, I personally do not agree with some of the decisions made by the development team behind BSV, particularly in regards to their approach to governance and community building. While I respect the right of individuals and communities to make their own decisions, I feel that the BSV ecosystem has become increasingly centralized and lacks the decentralized, community-driven ethos that was at the heart of my original vision for Bitcoin.
In short, while I remain committed to the continued growth and evolution of the Bitcoin protocol, I do not believe that BSV is the best embodiment of this vision.
