Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Cash Culture Calin Culianu was present on Bitcoin Cash fork day... August 1st, 2017, and was involved in Bitcoin ABC from the beginning. He describes the early $BCH community after the split as a ragtag band of rebels trying to find their identity, much like any group that breaks away from a parent institution. Some people simply ran out of patience over the years and left. Others were pushed out by internal conflict. The people most associated with BCH in public memory... Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, Amaury Séchet are all no longer involved, which Kaitlyn argues is actually a sign of the project's resilience rather than weakness. Bitcoin Takeover S17E26 with @stevethurmond and @cculianu and the Big Block Bitcoin Cash Community!

Hard Truths with Bitcoin Cash bitcoin-cash:native @cculianu/ Calin Culianu's argument that Bitcoin was captured: the block size debate was not a technical disagreement that went wrong... it was a successful operation by banking interests to ensure Bitcoin could never function as peer-to-peer electronic cash. The narrative that small blocks are better for decentralization was, in her view, artificial. The institutional money that funded Blockstream came from AXA, Digital Currency Group, and Mastercard, companies with a direct financial interest in Bitcoin not replacing the existing payment system. The capture did not require assassinations or laws. It required approximately $400 million and effective narrative control. Bitcoin Takeover S17E26 with @cculianu and @stevethurmond.

Yup! @Vladcostea is spot on here. ETH - and its many levels/layers of shitcoinery - certainly benefited most from the Blocksize War. It derailed/distracted me for the better part of five years until I came back to hard/sound money in BCH instead of chasing ICOs, arbitrage plays, yield-farming, and pump/dump schemes. I have to give ETH its due for pushing smart-contracts and new use-cases forward, however. BCH has all of the above (the hard/sound money qualities of BTC and the utility/defi/degen aspects of ETH), if you want it. Come for the degen-shit if that's what appeals to you, but stay for the fast/cheap/scalable freedom money for the world that can't be fucked with. BCH FTW! 💚👊💪
