There are many halving predictions yet to come true — among them Satoshi claimant Craig Wright's "long-term advance observe" from 2022 that he intended to crash the Bitcoin cost.

The warning emerged from a Slack group that Wright uses to communicate with his acolytes, and his dastardly scheme makes fascinating reading.

Dismissed at the time

Wright's sell-off threat came only prior to the much-hyped fork of the Bitcoin Cash blockchain to create Bitcoin SV.

Although there were some true believers who clearly relished the prospect of these events actually occurring, information technology was dismissed by many at the fourth dimension as typical Wright braggadocio and cocky-promotion.

Rolling iceberg gathers no moss

According to Wright, the sale would consist of a rolling iceberg guild on a single substitution followed by meaning orders on other exchanges. Iceberg orders are split into smaller lots with visible and hidden parts, the hidden parts merely becoming apparent once the visible parts have been executed.

This was intended to significantly crash the BTC price and be matched with a 10x leveraged short to capitalize on this.

Simultaneously, Wright planned to throttle the network hash, rejecting all transactions other than "unrecognised SegWit TXs to miners and our ain Exchange TXs."

This was to occur via the addition of 51% of network hash power prior to the price crash, although no further details of how this would be accomplished were given.

Figurer says "No"

Every bit Cointelegraph reported, Bitcoin's 3rd halving effect happened equally scheduled, with the only untoward upshot then far being YouTube pulling the plug on our livestream party and a vague sense of thwarting from underwhelmed hodlers.

The hash rate has so far been relatively unaffected, and unless Wright was behind the weekend's Bitcoin price drop, then we tin merely assume that the halving he's planning to hatch his scheme for is the one due in 2024.

Looks similar everyone can exhale like shooting fish in a barrel over again… for another 4 years, at least.
