Long-time Bitcoin developer, Paul Sztorc, is proposing a fork that would reassign part of Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1M BTC.
The plan is to copy Bitcoin into a new chain called eCash with native eCash tokens.
I remember back in 2017 when Bitcoin forked into Bitcoin Cash. I sold mine immediately and bought more Bitcoin with the earnings.
But this time I recommend extreme caution when receiving this eCash, because the fork is not the same.
Unlike the 2017 BCH fork (which was mostly about block size and kept a clean 1:1 airdrop with no coin reallocation), this proposal includes manually reassigning a chunk of Satoshi’s coins to “early investors” in the new project. That’s a massive red flag and a precedent that could erode trust in any fork claiming to be “Bitcoin-like.”
Many are already calling it theft or a social attack.
One big practical risk: once the eCash airdrop hits your wallet, actually moving or spending those coins could be dangerous. The new chain will likely launch with very low hash rate and weak security, making it vulnerable to 51% attacks, reorgs, or double-spend exploits, especially early on. Without proper replay protection setup (or if wallets/exchanges mess it up), you risk accidental cross-chain issues or losing funds.
Best to let it sit untouched until the dust settles (if it ever does).
I’ll be watching closely, but my default is to treat any claimed eCash as worthless . DYOR, don’t get rugged, and remember: if it touches Satoshi’s coins this way, it’s playing a dangerous game.
