Of Reamde by Neal Stephenson:

> The hero is an aging tech entrepreneur who owns a game that's a combination of World of Warcraft and Bitcoin (yes, this book predicts Bitcoin).

Reamde - published 20 September 2011

Bitcoin - initial release 9 January 2009

It's the famous Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi. The linked Ontier press release* quotes Wright's legal team:

>“Dr Wright does not wish to restrict access to his White Paper. However, he does not agree that it should be used by supporters and developers of alternative assets, such as Bitcoin Core, to promote or otherwise misrepresent those assets as being Bitcoin given that they do not support or align with the vision for Bitcoin as he set out in his White Paper.”

They're saying the project bitcoin.org promotes is using the whitepaper dishonestly to promote itself. Which resembles to me a trademark dispute, instead. And usually the trademark or copyright owner has solid proof of ownership.

Years ago, there was a presentation [1] by Peter Rizun of Bitcoin Unlimited at Stanford that demonstrated ~100TPS on Bitcoin, and the potential for 1000+ TPS if certain bottlenecks were removed. People said the same thing you're saying back then, but it served to motivate the big block community, and now today BSV routinely does 300+ MB blocks (1000+ tps). This Teranode software is the future of BSV and will become the common node configuration within a few years, so it's worth taking seriously. Also, I left a comment in this thread explaining why this test is more representative than you may think [2].
