Money in Africa: An Introduction to Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV)
“I have about 8 billion dollars’ worth of bitcoin, and I’m donating them. Not as a joke. I’m giving them away. I want them to go to education. So my BTC is not going to go to me. I’ll keep my bitcoin — the bitcoin I created, the bitcoin I still work on.” — Dr. Craig S. Wright
Knowledge is Power. The only way knowledge can be attained is through Education. Craig Wright (Satoshi Nakamoto) acknowledges this fact and decided he will donate to this cause. There is the need to enlighten Africans on Bitcoin SV and why it is “The Original Bitcoin”. As I said, Knowledge is Power. Always keep that in mind as you read through this write-up. This article is intended to be educative.
What Is Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV)?
Bitcoin SV is the original Bitcoin which aims to maintain the vision set out by Satoshi Nakamoto in his white paper, Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System. That is the reason why it was named Bitcoin Satoshi Vision. Let us highlight this portion of the whitepaper title: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System. The original vision of Bitcoin was to create a peer to peer electronic cash system to be used by everyone, not a specific group of persons, but everyone!
In Africa, the notion most people have about Bitcoin is that it is a money-making asset that most people buy, hold, and sell at higher rates. That wasn’t Satoshi’s aim! He wanted to create a cheaper hassle-free electronic cash payment system, which will eventually replace every cash payment system around the globe.
Bitcoin SV is out to restore the original Bitcoin protocol, keeping it stable and allowing it to scale massively. It intends to provide the ideal choice for miners and allow all sorts of enterprises to build websites and applications on it confidently.
Bitcoin SV aims to restore the technology and values of the original Bitcoin: decentralisation of power, and ensuring Bitcoin is used as a payment and trade method, the aim for which it was initially designed. At this juncture, we are going to dive into the benefits of Bitcoin SV.
Bitcoin SV’s Benefits for Africa
Stemming from the fact that Bitcoin SV is out to restore the original Bitcoin protocol, it has several advantages. Outlined below are some advantages of Bitcoin SV which make it second to none.
Reduced Transaction Costs
The original Bitcoin aimed to reduce transaction costs and provide people with a cheaper and safer method of payment. Bitcoin SV developers recreated the original Bitcoin by lowering transaction costs and enabling faster transactions on a massive scale.
In Africa, the transaction costs of sending money are quite high. This is not the case with Bitcoin SV. BSV has the lowest and most affordable transaction costs. This will enable you to carry out several transactions incurring insignificant transaction costs.
Massive Block Size
Bitcoin SV had an enormous default block size hard cap of 128MB (which increased to 2GB on July 24th, 2019). It was the first blockchain to cross the 100MB mark. As a result of this, it can sustain a higher number of transactions giving it massive on-chain scaling opportunities. How is this beneficial to Africans? the number of monetary transactions carried out at once will be increased. No need to wait in a queue to get things done!
Exceptional Security
Top-notch security is a prerequisite to any currency which aspires to be a global currency. To match this level of security, the developers of BSV focus on extremely thorough and careful Quality Assurance for mining node software. Security is one of the most pertinent problems we have with monetary transactions in Africa. BSV can make it all go away.
Network Development
To successfully fulfill Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision on the Bitcoin blockchain, BSV aims to restore original functionality and features to bring the protocol to its original design. This allows further development on the network beyond that which competitors can enable, creating a masterpiece. This is an innovation Africans will have fun exploring.
I believe the above paragraphs carefully and explicitly define Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (the original Bitcoin). BSV will be taking over, crushing and extinguishing every obstacle on its part to greatness. There is a need to restore Bitcoin’s original purpose and create a global and acceptable currency accessible to all. Together, we can all support this movement to make it a reality.
