This will be the last article I will be writing on the subject of adoption for BCH. I have written series of articles on this subject lately as though I have been paid to run a content campaign for someone. I write for the love I have for BCH and have never been under any obligation to do it. Those who have been following me here know that my passion for writing is unwavering. What unique information do I have to conclude the BCH adoption campaign content so to speak.
Let me crave your indulgence by borrowing a portion of the Holy Bible to drive home my points for this article.
“There was a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets who cried out to Prophet Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Almighty God. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
Prophet Elisha then said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me: What do you have in the house?”
She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.” Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers. Go in and shut the door on you and your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.” So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil. When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing. (2 Kings 4: 1 - 6)
NOW, HOW DOES THE ABOVE PASSAGE RELATES TO BCH ADOPTION?
KEYNOTE
1. The empty containers represent the poor around the world, those who are without a job, the homeless, professionals of all categories, and everyone who are yet to know about BCH
2. The Pot of Oil in this Bible story represents BCH the money that grants financial freedom from poverty to as many who possess it.
As the man of God admonished the woman to “Go, borrow empty containers from of all her neighbors, don’t borrow just a few containers,” every BCH user ought to go out for onboarding others who are yet to know about BCH. Target should be to onboard millions of merchants and other users and not just a few. This should be a responsibility for every BCH user in your various cities and regions. Invite as many people as possible not just a few.
Take note that the oil stopped flowing when there were no more empty pots to be brought to the woman. The lesson here is that when there are no new entrants to the BCH network no new coins will be mine and ultimately, BCH usability as global money will be pretty difficult. Adoption is what will drive value, the more BCH wallets (empty drums) that are created the higher the utility and a possibly increased in value.
BCH can achieve stability in value and never go down again, and that will be when every empty drum (BCH wallets) are filled and the last block mined. For now, there are still millions of wallets (empty drums) waiting to be opened and filled. BCH is a spendable currency and by spending, new wallets are filled. Let BCH flow by helping someone create a new wallet and send some Satoshi for a starter. When every drum (wallets) are filled we all shall indeed be financially free.

i really like this metaphor. just the other day i was thinking of how crucial it was to spread BCH wallets to the people. it is the gateway to understanding crypto, an opportunity to share.
thank you.
