smartBCH as the name implies is a smart innovation in BitcoinCash. In the few months it was launched, it has created a lot of opportunities and has explored a lot of new ideas.

I only got to know about smartBCH two months ago. I've always seen airdrops on telegram requesting for smartBCH address. But because I knew nothing about smartBCH I will just flip it over without knowing I was skipping huge opportunities.

I decided to search about smartBCH to have knowledge about it. I searched Google. I found some results but they weren't quite explanatory. I went to YouTube, I watched a lot of videos on smartBCH and I learned a few things there.

In one of the videos, I saw someone using Metamask. That was what made me download the Metamask app on my mobile phone. The only wallets I knew then were Bitcoin.com wallet and Trust wallet.

During my research, I came across WANG'S WORLD YouTube channel. That was where I further learned about smartBCH and some Dexes.

So now after getting my Metamask wallet how do I start? Where do I get my first smartBCH?

The first smartBCH I had was Eros. With the videos I've watched and with the help of My brother (who knows about smartBCH well). We were in different states, so he had to explain it to me on zoom.

He thought me how to add the smartBCH network to Metamask

He also thought me how to add the contact address of smartBCHs.

Ever since he thought me that, I've always done it myself. I was given 1 Eros in a telegram airdrop. A week or two weeks after, the Eros had value on market cap. I didn't know what to do with it 😄. I was happy it finally had value, but Instead of swapping it to BCH to make interest, I kept looking at it till it decreased from over $80 to $37.

That was when I asked my brother about what to do with it. Oppps! "He shouted". He told me to swap it immediately. Then ai hurriedly went to benswap, By the time I swapped it, it was already on $32.

That was my first lesson.

Buying smartBCHs

The first time I tried sending BCH to the smartBCH wallet I almost gave up. I used coinflex to make the transfer. I never knew it takes so long to get the transaction done. I thought it was like the normal BCH transaction on the Bitcoin.com wallet.

After saying a lot of prayers in my mind 😆, my BCH arrived in my Metamask wallet. I was so happy, the fact that I didn't lose my money gave me joy.

I bought Eben

With the use of bchcc.cash which is now a faster way of sending BCH to your smartBCH wallet. I sent some BCH to my Metamask and used it to buy Eben on benswap. I bought it and staked it.

Staking is another thing I like about smartBCH. Instead of having your money in a stagnant position in your wallet. smartBCHs has the avenue for you to stake and make a profit.

Tango et xTango

A few weeks ago, I started hearing about Tango everywhere. I read some things about it and realized it was a new Dex in smartBCH. I can't waste this opportunity. I bought some Tango, though it was little, but thanks to staking. I staked it so now I have xTango

The funny/ unfunny moment. (How I forgot my recovery phase when my Metamask was uninstalled?

I am a very cautious person. I don't joke with my seed/recovery phases. Since I know it's like the password to my assets.

On that dreadful day, I don't know how it happened, I just couldn't find Metamask on my phone again. Probably I uninstalled it by mistake or the app crashed itself. So I downloaded it on Playstore again and installed it.

Now I tried to log in and import my recovery phase, that was how the recovery phase became John Cena and said "you can't see me"😂.

There is a book where I do write my recovery phases, I searched through the whole house, but still couldn't find the book.

Eiiiiii. And as at that time, I had $100BCH in Metamask wallet which I sent through bchcc.com. Aside from that, my Eben, CATs, and others will all be gone 😭. And I get tired easily when I'm looking for something over and over in a particular place.

I couldn't take it again. I dropped my phone and slept off. About an hour or two hours later I woke up. It was as if I got the direction from my dream 😂. I just stood up and decided to check the wardrobe.

The wardrobe was the last thing on my mind because I never kept books there. But fortunately for me, I found it there. I was the happiest man on earth that day.

Closing thoughts

My experience so far with smartBCH has been wonderful. I hope it becomes more known to the world. Also, I hope more wallets will support smartBCH soon. Metamask has been useful, but we need more wallets in the smartBCH world.
