The new Bitcoin Cash SV (BSV), which recently emerged as a result of the hardfork of Bitcoin Cash crypto coin, is currently vulnerable to the so-called “double spending” attacks.



In the December 8th video, a Vimeo user named Reizu showed that he could use the BSV network and spend coins twice in “zero confirmation transactions”.



User spends BSV twice



Video on Vimeo shows a significant lack of a new function in BSV - a “transaction with zero confirmation”, which allows you to make transactions almost instantly. In the video, Reizu repeatedly confirms that it can use the BSV network for double spend transactions through the “0-confirmation transaction” function.

Although many traders are looking forward to the emergence of ETFs on Bitcoins, some supporters of cryptocurrencies are, at best, indifferent to the prospect of such a tool. The representative of the first group of unconditional Bitcoin-ETF enthusiasts is, for example, entrepreneur Jonathan Hamel, who talks about how approval of Bitcoin-ETF will lead to an “epic” inflow of institutional capital into the ecosystem — that is, the flow of “billions” dollars in the form of new investments.



But if you talk with some of the first users of cryptocurrency and the "veterans" of the blockchain technology, you can hear notes of indifference, and even skepticism.



So, the founder of the American company Bitcoin Advisory, Pierre Rochard, notes:

BTC/USD



BTC/USD is being traded at $3,532 in the correction. The $3,800 area became an obstacle to corrective growth. For the past trading day, the price could not overcome this mark.

Therefore, we are likely to see the testing of the $3,000 level, this year or the next ...
