All and any use of the BSV "centred", "yellow" (unofficial Bitcoin) logo(s) and BCH "left tilted ", "green" (unofficial Bitcoin) logo(s) has breached my
Threshold of Originality, as originator of the current Bitcoin BTC "right tilted", "orange" logo design and I have requested they Cease and Desist.
At this juncture I may or may not also be user account 'bitboy' and/or have commissioned 'bitboy' to create the current and officially recognized Bitcoin BTC "right tilted", "orange" logo. N.B. Phil Wilson is NOT user account 'bitboy'.
