Cryptocurrencies for beginners ***Monday, August 31st, 2020*** If you don't want to get too technical, think of cryptocurrencies like precious metals. Not only because you can mine them like you can gold, or copper, or silver, but also because different cryptocurrencies can serve different purposes in the same way that different metals can serve different purposes. But while the precious metals industry is already mature, and we mostly know what different metals can be used…

Animal Farm ***Thursday, September 3rd, 2020*** Recently I tweeted a screenshot from the fountainhead.cash telegram channel. Here's the tweet in case you want to see it: https://twitter.com/BCHcain/status/1300112785544683521 At the time, it was a public channel, so I saw nothing wrong with sharing it with the rest of the BCH community. As a result I was kicked out of that group, and almost immediately afterward I was also kicked out of the BCHN channel despite that being a…

Running Diary of Joel Valenzuela's interview of Roger Ver ***Saturday, September 5th, 2020*** https://youtu.be/eKDcv19828k Last night I decided to revist the two interviews Joel Valenzuela did of Roger Ver and Amaury Sechet regarding the IFP. I admit the first time I only listened to them while running errands (at 2x speed no less), so they didn't get my full attention. Forcing myself to sit there and actually watch them really opened my eyes to the differences between Roger…

Running Diary of Joel Valenzuela's interview of Amaury Sechet ***Sunday, September 6th, 2020*** https://youtu.be/Zpu-d756kWI If you haven't already, please check out the running diary I posted yesterday of Joel's interview with Roger Ver. This time I will be doing the same thing with Joel's interview of Amaury Sechet. As both interviews are about the IFP, it's interesting to compare and contrast the two. After rewatching both interviews, what I found was that Amaury spends…

The current BCH drama for outsiders ***Friday, September 11th, 2020*** Recently people have been asking what the newest drama in the Bitcoin Cash community is all about, so here's a brief synopsis for those who haven't been paying attention. On November 15th, BCH is set to undergo its regularly scheduled semi-annual upgrade. But what makes this hardfork not so regular is that it's expected to be a contentious one due to a disagreement within the community regarding the new…

The Bitcoin Cash Mission ***Monday, September 14th, 2020*** What is it about Bitcoin Cash that makes us fight so much? Or better yet, why do we keep fighting? Why not just give in to our opponents, or give up on the project altogether, and simply walk away? I'm guessing it's because those of us still fighting over the future of BCH all believe in the mission. We believe Bitcoin Cash is a technology that has the ability to change the course of humanity. We believe BCH will…

Staying focused on the BCH mission ***Friday, September 18th, 2020*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrR95PFYDFQ&feature=emb_title I just finished watching Anthony Pompliano's interview of Michael Saylor, the CEO of Microstrategy, aka the company that just purchased $425M of Bitcoin. https://www.coindesk.com/microstrategy-buys-more-bitcoin I found it to be an interesting interview and one that was worth watching. Saylor lays out his company's rationale for taking almost all…

Fiat Debasement and the Bitcoin Cash Opportunity ***Friday, September 25th, 2020*** In crypto, everyone talks about the eventual downfall of fiat money. But that seems to be all we do. We talk. We talk about fiat money being the reason for wars, how fiat money leads to the accumulation of debt, and how fiat money can lead to the kind of hyperinflationary events that destroy entire countries and the people who live in them. We probably talk about these things because for the…

What will Jihan do? ***Monday, September 28th, 2020*** Jihan Wu is easily one of the most fascinating figures in all of Bitcoin. Two years after graduating from Peking University with a degree in economics and psychology, Wu first discovered Bitcoin in 2011. He was so impressed by the technology that he became the first person to translate the white paper into Chinese. Soon after he started China's first Bitcoin community site and raised money from family and friends to buy…

The thing about Bitcoin that no one ever talks about ***Tuesday, September 29th, 2020*** I work with numbers. What I do isn't sexy, but it's necessary, and it's necessary because people can make mistakes, whether they're intentional or unintentional. Part of my job entails following the money and showing people where it came from, and where it went, and how it's all being properly reported according to the terms of this deal or that deal. I prove where money was spent with…
