What I'm about to say is no secret to anyone. It's a pitiful fact, because as i had already written in a previous article, the social network Yours.org once became part of the bitcoin cash community dynamics and it seemed that it could only improve, however, after the fork and hash war led by faketoshi to create BSV, stopped supporting Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in favor of this project.

What happened next... was to be expected. The freshness that the bitcoin cash community brought to the platform disappeared (especially after an episode of censorship that Ryan X Charles and the MoneyButton team would admit in an apology), the economic activity went to a minimum and the garbage content (that already existed before, but that contrasted with interesting ideological, philosophical and technical interactions in favor of the development and promotion of Bitcoin Cash) would fill the pages.

And what's new after Yours.org's bad business decision a year ago? well... the platform remains the same; without technical or aesthetic improvements; without new functions; and in addition, its most abundant topics have become, for some time now, political propaganda, generally in favor of socialist, communist and related tyrants (generally close to the Foro de São Paulo) which serves as a sample of the intellectual degradation that has occurred.

In other words, although Bitcoin Cash resisted and has recovered greatly since the hash war, Yours.org died when it made the decision to support and leave with BSV after the conflict, and today it does not suppose a serious competition for the alternatives that with goals similar to their original goal. The rest is history...

My best wishes to the read.cash team. I hope you will succeed...

Platforms like yours.org did not focused on improving the technology. They didn't adopted to users requirement and slowly goes down. The same even applies to platform like steemit. But i hope read.cash will be aware of those issues and will be a huge project of future

I think one of the initial advantages of Yours.org was that they listened to the feedback. That's what made the Bitcoin Cash community adopt it so quickly in its first few months. The community in those months interacted with the developers and perceived the advances because there was constant communication. But that was in decline once Ryan and his team started projecting that they now had a new major project.

They finally ended up collapsing because they did not even maintain a support for both currencies (BCH and BSV). Instead they kicked their most active consumers.

It wasnt a business decision, Yours was sponsored by nchain from the beginning. They had to go with the SV side due to contracts.

I think they were also funded by Bitmain. I believe that in one video, Ryan even said that despite Bitmain's funding being more than nChain's, he decided to go with SV -- in the video he alluded to some contract issue. It was pretty clear that he felt he had little choice if he didn't want to get legal troubles from nChain.

Maybe he should just liquidate his company, and start a new one then.
