Where I'm at in my BCH journey ***Monday, November 9th, 2020, 6 days before the fork*** For the past three years, it's fair to say that my life has been consumed by Bitcoin Cash. In that time, I've spent countless hours learning how it works, talking to others about it online, all while trying to accumulate as much as I could afford to buy. Whenever I had any free time you'd probably catch me watching BCH related videos or listening to podcasts discussing the latest…

A New Hope ***Friday, November 13th, 2020, 2 days before the fork*** One of the many beautiful things about Bitcoin is its resiliency. How all it takes is a handful of people (maybe even one single person) to keep a chain alive. In my last post I wrote how disappointed I was by the recent direction of BCH, but I'm happy to report I don't feel that way anymore. What I see now is the potential for a huge opportunity and a chance for a fresh start. To me the bottom line is the…

The day before the fork ***Saturday, November 14th, 2020, 1 day before the fork*** I honestly have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow. I'm not a miner, nor am I in contact with miners. I'm just putting my faith in the idea that there must be others out there who value merit over politics. Maybe you think my faith is misplaced, and I admit I'll feel much better once I see the first few ABC blocks come in, whether that takes minutes, or hours (hopefully not days), but no…

My hope for BCHA ***Wednesday, November 18th, 2020, 3 days after the fork*** Someone recently asked me what is my hope for this project (BCHA), and why do I think it's better than all the others? Let me start with the second question since it's the easier of the two. I'll even do it in list form. Top 10 reasons--in no particular order--why I think the project currently known as BCHA is better than all others: PoW>PoS Has a solid roadmap Technically proven and bold developer…

What just happened to BCH? ***Friday, November 20th, 2020, 5 days after the fork*** Let me start by saying that I don't presume to speak for anyone. I also don't consider myself an expert on anything, and I'm not a mind reader, or fortune teller either. I just love to write and share my thoughts, which lately is mostly about Bitcoin. I feel like there's some confusion about what happened to the Bitcoin Cash network five days ago. People who haven't been closely following the…

Why Bitcoin needs reliable infrastructure funding ***Saturday, November 21st, 2020, 6 days after the fork*** On November 15th, the Bitcoin Cash network underwent a split creating two chains: BCH and BCHA. The split occurred over the activation of the new coinbase rule by Bitcoin ABC, the team that created BCH in 2017 and who have worked non-stop for three years to maintain the BCH network. The new coinbase rule requires miners to divert 8% of the 6.25 BCHA block reward to an…

Why BCHA ***Sunday, November 22nd, 2020, 7 days after the fork*** What's important isn't the ticker. A ticker and a brand can always be changed. What's important is finding the right people, those who share both your vision, and your conviction. In a way, the BCHA community is like a gathering of the minds. People who share a common goal as well as sharing similar mindsets on how best to achieve those goals. As someone in the Chinese BCHA community recently wrote, "BCHA…

The $BCHA opportunity ***Wednesday, November 25th, 2020, 10 days after the fork*** "This is not financial advice.” "Do your own research.” "Don't risk more than you're willing to lose." That's what everyone tells you right before they say something that probably sounds an awful lot like financial advice, based off of another person’s research, tempting you to risk every cent you've got. That's not what I want to do. I'm not here to tell you this coin is going to 1000x like…

1 year of read.cash ***Thursday, November 26th, 2020, 11 days after the fork*** Given it's Thanksgiving here in the US, I thought I'd share one of the many things I'm thankful for: the existence of this platform and all the people who take the time to read my posts. Thank you for the words of encouragement, the upvotes, and for going out of your way to share my articles with others. I did a little bookkeeping last night and it turns out that over the past year I've posted…

The crazy ex-girlfriend. ***Friday, November 27th, 2020, 12 days after the fork*** The BCHA chain has been under "attack" since pretty much its inception. There's a crazy unknown miner burning his money to prevent BCHA from functioning as intended. For a brief period, ViaBTC found some blocks and coins were able to move, but the unknown miner has now resorted to orphaning and preventing any transactions other than those that include an op_return that says: "There never was a…
