Patoshi-Patterned BTCs Gear Up for eCash Fork
Bitcoin’s mysterious creator Satoshi Nakamoto-attributed early coins may shift to new investors via the eCash hard fork proposed by LayerTwo Labs founder and CEO Paul Sztorc. In the project announced on Friday, Sztorc plans to manually reassign 500,000 of the approximately 1.1 million BTC in the Patoshi pattern. This fork will copy Bitcoin’s history to create a separate blockchain and give existing BTC holders equivalent eCash matching their holdings. For example, a 4,19 BTC holder will receive 4,19 eCash; investors can sell, hold, or ignore them. Sztorc acknowledged that this move, discussed on our BTC detailed analysis platform, will be controversial but considers it ideal for Bitcoin’s future.
The eCash name draws inspiration from cryptographer David Chaum’s 1990s privacy-focused digital currency project, which went bankrupt after failing to gain traction. Sztorc’s plan involves redirecting the remainder to investors by excluding 600,000 Patoshi-linked coins on the new chain without moving coins on Bitcoin. Launching at the end of August with Drivechain scaling support and seven sidechains, the project offers early backers a pre-investment opportunity.
BTC Technical Outlook and Fork Impact
Figures like Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp call this an attention-grabbing tactic, while creators of past fork projects like Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic—such as Chaum and Lopp—faced similar criticisms. Current BTC price at 76.614,62$ level, 24h change -1,62%. RSI at 56,94 indicates uptrend continuing, but Supertrend gives bearish signal. EMA 20: 75.444,97$.
- Supports: S1 71.947$ (Strong, -6,09%), S2 70.523$ (Strong, -7,95%)
- Resistances: R1 76.838$ (Strong, +0,29%), R2 80.810$ (Strong, +5,48%)
This proposal highlights the need to address capital and developer shortages in the Bitcoin ecosystem. If successful, the fork could impact the BTC futures market, but past examples show original chains retain dominance. Investors get free eCash with low drama risk.
