From persecution to Dominance: Christianity and Bitcoin SV.
In the dark alleys of Rome, under the flickering light of torches, a group of men and women gathered in secret. They were the early Christians whose very act of prayer could mean their death sentence. Nero had blamed these followers of "Christ" for the great fire of Rome in 64 AD, unleashing a wave of persecution that would paint the sands of the Colosseums with their blood. Each day, each prayer was an act of rebellion, a whisper of hope in an empire that worshiped multiple gods, including the emperor himself.
The Christians, with their unwavering faith in one God, became a symbol of resistance, not just against imperial power but against a culture that saw their monotheism as a threat to social and political cohesion. Their story is one of suffering and resilience, where their creed, once persecuted, would transform into the official religion of the Roman Empire under Constantine and later Theodosius, becoming the cornerstone of Western civilization.

Fast forward to the present, where history seems to repeat itself in the digital realm. In the world of cryptocurrencies, a man, Dr. Craig Wright proclaims himself as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. His vision for Bitcoin SV is to restore Bitcoin to its original implementation, promising scalability and the ability to handle global transactions in a way no other blockchain has achieved yet. But like the Christians in Rome, Wright and his followers face their own form of persecution.
The crypto community, for the most part, has rejected Wright, questioning his identity and claims. Legal battles, social media attacks, and technological controversies are the new Colosseum where this battle is fought. The vision for BSV, which proposes an unlimited Bitcoin in terms of scalability, is seen by many as heresy to the established consensus, much like Christianity was seen as a dangerous superstition.
The narrative of BSV and Wright is woven with the hope that, like Christianity, this protocol might emerge victorious, not only becoming dominant in the blockchain world but also as the infrastructure of the internet itself. The persecution here is not physical but manifests in the form of misinformation, reputational attacks, and efforts to marginalize BSV from the crypto ecosystem.
This story, from the catacombs of Rome to today's digital servers, teaches us that ideas, though persecuted, can transform the world. The Christians of old, with their faith, changed an empire; today, BSV, with its technology, aspires to redefine the digital economy. Can BSV, under Wright's leadership, overcome its persecution and become the protocol that supports the world's future transactions? Only time will tell, but history teaches us that from persecution can come greatness.
The struggle for validation and acceptance of BSV on the global stage is an ongoing saga, full of twists and revelations that will keep anyone on the edge of their seat, waiting for the next move in this game of power, faith, and technology.
