BitcoinCash Weekly News April 15th 2025 by the BCHF WORLD ECONOMY ON FIRE? BCH DEVS JUST KEEP BUILDING

The latest General Bull session from General Protocols tackled crypto’s role during economic turmoil, with hosts and guests dissecting everything from stablecoin fragility to real-world BCH adoption. Key takeaways: “Everything is melting down”: Panelists debated how BCH serves as a hedge against currency collapses, with anecdotes of families finally grasping Bitcoin’s value proposition as traditional systems wobble. Stablecoins in crisis: Skepticism reigned over dollar-pegged stablecoins as long-term solutions, with warnings about centralized points of failure during dollar volatility. BCH Bliss Conference hype: Organizer Jonathan Silverblood teased the upcoming Slovenia event (June 7–9), highlighting NFT ticketing via TapSwap, and NFC check-ins. Final advice: “Build local networks, control your money, and focus on solutions — not doomscrolling.” Catch the full convo (and chaotic Twitter Spaces tech fails) here: youtube.com/watch?v=JVqGAHo31sE http://generalprotocols.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVqGAHo31sE CASHONIZE WALLET V0.3.6 RELEASED WITH CRITICAL WALLETCONNECT FIX AND IMPROVED STABILITY

The team from the Bitcoin Cash Podcast made an appearance at BTC’s OPNEXT conference in a bid to bridge the divide between the two communities. Hosts Jeremy and Kallisti noted the stark contrast in urgency — while BCH developers ship upgrades routinely, BTC’s upgrade process remains mired in cautious deliberation. Highlights included a candid chat with conference co-organizer Charlie Spears, who admitted Bitcoin could “learn a lot” from BCH’s developer culture, and Rearden of the BTC camp acknowledging the need for better onchain tooling.

The Permissionless Software Foundation has launched a web app (message.psfoundation.info) that lets users send end-to-end encrypted messages to any BCH address, functioning like a crypto-powered secure email system. Built on a forked version of their React-based wallet software, the app stores encrypted messages on Nostr relays while using micro BCH transactions as message alerts. A companion CLI tool (GitHub) enables niche use cases like sending Linux server commands to a phone. Because sometimes you need more privacy than yelling into the blockchain void. https://message.psfoundation.info https://github.com/Permissionless-Software-Foundation/psf-msg-wallet PERSIAN BITCOIN CASH WEBSITE FUNDRAISER AIMS TO EDUCATE, NOT JUST TRADE

Farooq, a FOSS advocate and decentralization enthusiast, is launching a Persian-language Bitcoin Cash resource hub to fill a gap in BCH education. Unlike exchange-focused content, the site will emphasize peer-to-peer cash principles, featuring translations of Jeremy’s Bitcoin Cash Podcast articles, guides on Electron Cash plugins, and a polished Persian version of the Bitcoin whitepaper. The project seeks 1.58 BCH (~$406) for translations, hosting, and theme customization . https://fund.persianbitcoincash.com https://bitcoincashpodcast.com https://electroncash.org https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper **THE MARKET THIS WEEK**
