BSV Emerges as Bitcoin, BCH Takes Different Path
BSV became the new representative of the original Bitcoin Protocol, as BCH diverged from Bitcoin's core principles. BCH's deviation from the Bitcoin white paper resulted in the incorporation of non-compliant features, including anonymity features that impede government and financial oversight. This day marks Bitcoin's Independence Day for this reason.
