Bull market trading, bear market eating melons.


The crypto industry is not short of various interest disputes, and when the market is low, such disputes are often more likely to be put on the table.


This morning, the BTC ecosystem staged a quarrel:


Ordinals founder Casey publicly published an article on his Twitter and blog, pointing out that rocktoshi (@rocktoshi21), who claimed to be the co-founder of Ordinals a few days ago, was not actually a co-founder, and revealed more details of the two from the establishment of the company to the separation.


Afterwards, a group of bigwigs in the BTC ecosystem, such as Erin, Leo, Charlie, and Ninja (friends who play the BTC ecosystem should be familiar with him), began to publicly support Casey, and each broke the black material about rocktoshi (hereinafter referred to as Ishimoto Satoshi), including but not limited to fraud, intimidation, and unpleasantness in working together.


And there are more revelations that the well-known project Node Monkey on Ordinals is actually led by Ishimoto Satoshi, and he personally made millions of dollars in a quick profit.


As soon as the news came out, the price of Node Monkey fell.



At present, it is not known what kind of interest disputes have occurred between these bigwigs and Ishimoto Satoshi, and there is no way to verify the authenticity of these revelations; it can only be said that Ishimoto Satoshi has been attacked by a group of people, and the assets of related projects may be affected.


We quickly sorted out all kinds of information about this quarrel for your reference.


Ordinals co-founder title dispute


The public cause of the whole quarrel may be traced back to a tweet from Satoshi Ishimoto himself 2 days ago.


Originally, the name rocktoshi was not particularly famous, but the day before yesterday he publicly announced on Twitter that he was one of the co-founders of the Bitcoin Ordinals project, and said "Before Casey joined, I was already studying how to implement NFT on Bitcoin."



The meaning of this declaration is self-explanatory. To put it bluntly, I am worthy of the title of "Ordinals Co-founder" and I have two brushes, and my level may be no worse than Casey.


You may ask, is it so important to fight for a title just to show your strength?


The title is very important for the crypto industry where rogues emerge frequently and forget about them as soon as they are seen. The title of a position in a successful project in the past can often become the key chip for whether to take you to play in the next group.


But as we all know, Casey is the founder of Ordinals in everyone's mind. We have no way of guessing the motives of Ishimoto Satoshi's remarks, but the effect is obviously to make himself more popular in the controversy.


Whether Satoshi Ishimoto is really defending himself or trying to discredit him, these remarks obviously do not make Casey, the real founder of Ordinals, feel comfortable.


Early this morning, Casey also published a blog post and synchronized it to Twitter, titled "How Ordinals was founded".


But it is obvious that the title is not for the sake of wine. The content of the article can be completely regarded as a denial of "Satoshi Ishimoto's claim to be the co-founder of Ordinals".



Casey said that Satoshi Ishimoto did not contribute to the concept of Ordinals, including code design, and pointed out that Satoshi Ishimoto's possible contribution was to correct typos in the code repository.


As for the title of Ordinals co-founder, Casey thinks it is a forced title.


Casey previously opened a small company called Ordinals Corporation, but it was dissolved in less than three months. In this company, Satoshi Ishimoto was indeed the so-called "co-founder".


But this company has nothing to do with Ordinals in Bitcoin now, it was just a company started with a small concept. If you insist, Satoshi Ishimoto is just a co-founder of this small company, not a co-founder of the current Ordinals protocol.


If the story ends here, it is actually not very harmful, but Casey also revealed more information to publicly cut ties with Satoshi Ishimoto:


"Rocktoshi became unreliable. I told him that I didn't want to work with him anymore, but he remained unreasonable and finally frantically demanded a payment of $5 million in exchange for his shares in the company... Even after we finally resolved the issue of dissolving Ordinals, he continued to send me threatening, demanding, insulting and emotional emails for several months."


A complete public accusation and naming criticism.


The community rose up to attack


Casey also said that many people in the ecosystem have dealt with rocktoshi, and everyone he has talked to has had similar long-term experiences of being threatened, deceived, manipulated and deceived.


This immediately made Ishimoto Satoshi a target for collective firing.


Later, Casey also posted the black material publicly exposed by various bigwigs in the Bitcoin ecosystem, pushing Ishimoto Satoshi to the forefront.


For example, Charlie @cbspears, the maintainer of Ordinals Hub, publicly posted in January this year that "Rocktoshi has been harassing me, trying to blackmail me, and threatening to sue me for the past 6 months";


The following sentence is explosive, although it is unknown whether it is true or not:


"I am worried that he will use the millions of dollars of revenue from the Nodemonkes project mint and his growing influence in the Ordinals ecosystem to continue to manipulate and attack others."



The implication is that Ishimoto Satoshi and Nodemonkes may have a vested interest.


Another @LeonidasNFT's remarks partially confirmed this interest relationship. He said, "Rocktoshi has launched many projects under various pseudonyms in the past 18 months. Take Nodemonkes as an example. It is objectively a very good series of Ordinals (NFT on Bitcoin)... It will work well with or without Rocktoshi's participation."


The GP of Bitcoin Frontier Fund (btcfrontierfund) and the CEO of ninjaalerts, Trevor.btc, also publicly stated that he had personally experienced Rocktoshi's deception and manipulation. And said that keeping silent will only allow this behavior to continue, which may hurt those with fewer resources and less visibility.


Another community leader, Joona (@NFTJoona), directly posted rocktoshi’s chat history and said that he and rock had a simple transaction, but then rock canceled the transaction and started blackmailing.


It can be seen that Ishimoto Satoshi directly pointed out that the other party was a liar and threatened to take legal action in a tough tone. More revelations show that Ishimoto Satoshi said that if he had to use his lawyer, he would charge Joona $1,600 per hour.



A person’s words may not explain the problem, but a group of people attacking it together confirms Casey’s previous words of "threat, deception, manipulation and deception" to a certain extent.


The world is bustling, all for profit


So far, the authenticity of the quarrel between Casey and others against rocktoshi has not been determined.


Rocktoshi only responded lightly to this public opinion offensive:


"I am not a liar. Everyone who knows me knows this. Including Casey. Every word I say is true. I am relieved to say these words publicly. To Casey: I think you should calm down and stop making personal attacks and personal attacks."


Who is right and who is wrong, and who has touched whose cake, may not be so important.


The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. It is probably because the interests of former fellow travelers have not been negotiated, and the community of interests has begun to turn against each other.


This ancient saying once appeared in "Historical Records". In fact, there is another saying that is more thought-provoking:


When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace.


The big guys have eaten and drunk enough and started to quarrel over honor and disgrace. When will the leeks be able to eat and drink enough?
