Wikipedia creator will never use BSV

Wikipedia creator will never use BSV

Recently, CoinGeek, a website promoting the interests of Bitcoin SV shareholders, announced that Wikipedia creator JimmyWales will be the keynote speaker at his upcoming conference. Today, Wales denied this information and criticized Bitcoin Satoshi Vision.

CoinGeek's official announcement quoted Wales:

Prior to the advent of Bitcoin SV, there was no blockchain with sufficient scalability to provide microtransactions and process an enormous amount of information on the Wikipedia portal.

However, in a February 7 tweet, the creator of Wikipedia stated:

Your advertising articles need to be updated urgently– people may think that I approve or support your project. I will be at the conference and will express my opinion, which is that Wikipedia does not need BSV. The likelihood that we will ever use this currency is zero.

Recall that on February 3, the Bitcoin SV network passedGenesis update, which led to a minor chain split. Genesis changes many BSV rules and removes some restrictions. The block size is now completely unlimited, the number of possible owners for multisig wallets and the maximum possible transaction size have also been significantly increased.
