Happy Birthday to Bitcoin Cash

Today is the 13th anniversary of bitcoin's block 0 mining. Yes, on a day like today, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first bitcoin with his computer, thus starting the movement that still seeks to revolutionize the world monetary system.

Surely some maximalist out of greed for BTC could make the mistake of stating that such date only belongs to the faction he supports, without stopping to think what a Hard Fork implies in itself.

Who back then would have imagined the vast market for cryptocurrencies as tokens associated with divergent and convergent ecosystems developing despite the resistance posed by the dominant system?

Undoubtedly, only visionaries like Satoshi Nakamoto and the first collaborators; who continued the quest after Satoshi's sudden disappearance a few years later.

Well, at first, some of the major players even talked about bitcoin as an ambitious experiment which they had doubts about its success.

If you have not noticed, there is competition for the supremacy of the crypto market at the hands of a great diversity of projects, unimaginable at that time.

The dubious experiment (in a little over a decade) went from simple curiosity to a movement involved in the struggle for power itself.

I hope you now have no doubts about the 13th birthday of Bitcoin Cash.

But, if someone tells you that you are wrong about what I have just pointed out, arguing that Bitcoin Cash was born on August 1, 2017. You can answer them bluntly, "You are the wrong one."

In this sense, I share with you what I heard from a prominent member of the community about the meaning of August 1: it is Independence Day; The event where those loyal to the founding purpose of Bitcoin resisted those who would hijack the iconic name in the title of the white paper.

So don't be fooled. Investigate the group that kept the name as a brand through trickery. They respond to the interests of the financial elites in the world. Follow the money route of the big investors behind them, and you will be in for a big surprise.

Yes, I know it sounds like a big conspiracy! But you don't need to be very careful to understand the motives behind the war waged for many years within bitcoin.

In the end, it's just about money, power, and corruption.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Well, I've already covered this topic in some of my articles briefly, and I don't want to bore you if you've already read it. Although, if you come across these ideas for the first time, you might want to dig deeper.

In short, the heart of the matter is achieving freedom in handling money. The intermediaries are not necessary. The transactions are direct, without a bank, without any mediation other than the law of the incorruptible code, which one will not manipulate during the process.

Final thoughts

When I started my journey with Bitcoin Cash, at the end of January of last year, as an active member of the community here on this great platform never thought that reading and noise would open my eyes to what is at stake behind the cryptocurrency market.

Although, the current circumstances make it look as if BCH is stalled, using obstacles, and a campaign to create the illusion of invisibility of the valuable efforts that appear consistently every day. I want to reiterate that you are on the correct ship.

Have no doubt, when it is all over, Bitcoin Cash will still be standing.

So today, when there is just a little left to finish the day in the region where I live. I celebrate the commissioning of the first blockchain for monetary purposes and that it continues today with the help of those of us who make up the Bitcoin Cash community.

Happy birthday to Bitcoin Cash!
