The cryptocurrency hit a fresh yearly low Tuesday towards $54.53, down 21.46-percent with a market capitalization of $1 billion. The weekly drop trimmed circa $482 million off BSV market cap, making it the leading bearish asset throughout the entire crypto index. BSV dipped towards the oversold area, according to its daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings. At 30-RSI, BSV was only a small sell order away from sulking into an extremely bearish bias.

The crash follows a long history of bickering between the Bitcoin SV supporters and their counterparts in the rest of the cryptocurrency space. The BSV founder, Dr. Craig S Wright, claimed that he was the Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of the Bitcoin payment protocol. The Bitcoin community asked for the proofs. Dr. Wright didn’t provide them. The Bitcoin community called him a liar for years. And Dr. Wright planned to take his revenge by launching defamation lawsuits against his critics.
1/ So I got my letter from Craig Wright and @CalvinAyre. This is what they are sending out to people, now you can all see.
I absolutely reject their requirements.

The personal threats didn’t go well with the cryptocurrency community. Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Malta-based Binance crypto exchange, eventually delisted Bitcoin SV from their trading platform. What followed was a series of similar actions. Shapeshift CEO Erik Voorhees stated that they would remove Bitcoin SV from their platform by coming Wednesday. Blockchain, a crypto wallet service, discontinued support for BSV tokens. US exchange Kraken is close to taking the same action against Dr. Wright’s project.
We stand with @binance and CZ’s sentiments. We’ve decided to delist Bitcoin SV #BSV from @ShapeShift_io within 48 hrs.
