Dear read.cash, I don't know if you're reading this, but if you are, I just wanted to encourage you and tell you not to worry about what anyone else thinks. This site is yours and yours alone. You have built something people love, and that obviously includes me. Of all your users, I have probably benefited from your site the most, and I am grateful for that. We are all different kinds of people, and all of us are imperfect in our own ways. The best we can do is try and…

For Grasberg! ***Sunday, August 2nd, 2020*** `What follows is a work of fiction. Characters and events are products of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental.` Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine you're just some guy with a day job. You're good at what you do, you're well paid, and you work in a professional environment at one of the biggest tech companies in the world. On the side you have a growing interest in…

My answer ***Monday, August 3rd, 2020*** **Why Grasberg?** That's the question many people seem to be asking these days. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to even write this article, but then I watched something earlier tonight and I knew I no longer had a choice. First, let me start by reminding everyone I don't hate anyone in BCH, and I stand by what I tweeted a couple months ago: I will admit I briefly forgot that tweet even existed. Because I'd pretty much reached a point…

It's not you, it's me ***Wednesday, August 5th, 2020*** Yesterday I woke up, turned on my computer, and started tweeting in anger. I wasn't even 100% sure I agreed with some of the things I was writing, but I didn't care. I also didn't even know exactly what the source of my anger was. Maybe it was related to the 30% crash in BCH prices on Saturday night. Maybe I was angry with the anti-ABC people because I thought they were to blame. Maybe it was Jonathan Toomin's latest…

The difference between us ***Thursday, August 6th, 2020*** `I started this article last night, but life moves fast in BCH so I had to make some small changes this morning crossing out Grasberg and putting in IFP. What this reveals is that the real issue was never about either of those things.` What is the difference between us? Why do I want ~~to fix the historical drift~~ the IFP while you don't? I'll tell you one thing, it's not because someone paid me off and told me to…

Really think about it ***Friday, August 7th, 2020*** Let's say I'm a miner who wanted a big block version of Bitcoin. For years, I worked with various developer teams to make this happen, but each time it failed due to incompetence. Finally, I get lucky and find a developer who is capable and shares the same vision as I do, and with the help of a handful of others, we manage to launch a successful fork of Bitcoin with an increased block size, no segwit, and no RBF. After the…
@Cain
A little bit about me ***Saturday, August 8th, 2020*** My recent articles have focused on trying to get to the core of what differentiates those who support ABC and everyone else in the BCH community. I've hypothesized that those who support ABC are individualists, while those who oppose them are collectivists. Both terms have many connotations. For example, individualists might be seen as selfish and greedy, while collectivists might be viewed as being selfless and…

Transcript of Joannes Vermorel's presentation during the 2020 BCH Fork Day Celebration *(What follows is what I considered to be the best presentation during the 2020 BCH Fork Day Celebration Livestream. I wanted to transcribe this so it can be* *translated into Chinese for the Chinese BCH community**. The video of the actual presentation has been embedded at the bottom of this article.)* https://read.cash/@Cain/joannes-vermorel2020-bch-649ae1b6 I am Joannes Vermorel. I am…

The IFP is evolution. Vive la évolution! ***Saturday, August 15th, 2020*** Bitcoin Cash is a system built on incentives. BCH doesn't care about your ideology, it doesn't care about who thanked who, or whatever you might have thought the project originally stood for. What BCH cares about is surviving, and growing, like a virus. Bitcoin Cash doesn't have a soul, it has lines of code. But don't make the mistake of thinking BCH isn't a technology that lives and breathes in its…
@Cain
Who would you choose? ***Friday, August 21st, 2020*** You need to hire a CTO. One guy has proven himself by leading a small but solid team over the past 3 years. He was integral in the launch of Bitcoin Cash and succeeded where other teams have failed. Prior to that, he has years of experience working at one of the biggest technology companies in the world. He has a tight roadmap for Bitcoin Cash and a plan to achieve it. He has given countless talks, and presentations, and…

Have had issues tipping people for the last 10 hours or so. Anyone else having the same issues?

Who supports Bitcoin ABC? ***Tuesday, August 25th, 2020*** You're not going to find any of these people signing some lame joint statement pledging allegiance to Bitcoin ABC. So I decided to put together a list of my own. This is off the top of my head so apologies to anyone I may have missed. See for yourself the caliber of people ABC has on their side. Shammah Chancellor - Founder and CTO of Stamp Vin Armani - CTO of Cointext.io Tobias Ruck - Founder and CEO of Be.cash…

Wondering if the read.cash dev is focused more on mainnet.cash now since we really haven't had any major updates to this site in some time. Hoping this isn't another yous.org or honest.cash situation.

Bitcoin Cash can be so much more ***Saturday, August 29th, 2020*** I think it's safe to assume most of us are here because we all see the huge potential for Bitcoin Cash. We want BCH to usher in a new era where states have less power, and people have more freedom to use their money however they want. We want a world where everyone is able to participate in the global economy no matter who you are or where you live. We want a world where great ideas can more easily find the…
