Crypto Fights, a blockchain-based PvP turn-based fighting game that has recently released a gameplay trailer, is set to move its on-chain battles to Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV) as it sees it as the “original bitcoin.”
According to the game’s social media platforms, the team behind Crypto Fights sees Bitcoin SV as the “original Bitcoin,” and believes some of its properties are better for its users. These include “Immutable code which other developers can integrate and expand upon. Full open analysis for eSports. Third-party community around live games. Open wagering… SO many things.”
The team noted:
Bitcoin SV is the original Bitcoin. It restores the original Bitcoin protocol, will keep it stable, and allow it to massively scale.
Crypto Fights’ battles were initially set to be based on an Ethereum sidechain, to allow the platform to scale. The move to the controversial BSV is set to take advantage of the cryptocurrency’s large 128 MB block sizes.

As CryptoGlobe covered, BSV is a fork of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which itself is a fork of Bitcoin (BTC).The cryptocurrency was created in November of last year, as the BCH community didn’t agree on where to scale the cryptocurrency.
While some believed technological improvements were the right move, others – Bitcoin SV supporters – wanted to quadruple the cryptocurrency’s block size. BSV is supported by self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto Craig Wright, CoinGeek, and nChain.
Bitcoin SV has earlier this year announced the “rebirth of the original Bitcoin,” and unveiled a new logo. The move was, according to some, an attempt to rebrand the cryptocurrency as the “original Bitcoin.” Last month, Coinbase started allowing its users who held BCH at the time of the fork to withdraw their BSV tokens from its platform.
Craig Wright himself has, shortly after the fork that created BSV, claimed the crypto will be able to handle more transactions than all other existing blockchains and traditional payments systems combined.
