Satoshi's Angels - BCH Merchant Adoption Merchant adoption is of utmost importance for the Bitcoin Cash network. Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin Cash has reached very high numbers in transactions and the blockchain has performed exceptionally. In previous articles, I covered some onboarding campaigns and initiatives for increasing Bitcoin Cash awareness and attracting new users and businesses accepting BCH as a payment method. In this post, we explore **Satoshi's…

What Bitcoin Cash is Lacking Lately, with the BTC fees reaching the ceiling of $60 too many understood that Bitcoin stands no chance to ever be adopted as a payment method. Moreover, the proposed layer-2 solution, the Lightning Network, was also found to require hundreds of dollars of fees to open a channel and make a transaction. A custodial scaling solution (explained in one of my previous posts "Bankcoin ($BTC)") is how the Bitcoin Core community wants to move forward.…

From the East Coast to the West Coast - Bitcoin Cash Merchant Adoption in the USA The United States of America as the financial hub and world superpower is embracing adoption and technological innovation. Cryptocurrencies are becoming the new norm in the USA and Americans are always investing in revolutionary technology. The economic collapse of 2008 and the bubbles in real estate and CDOs was one of the reasons Satoshi created Bitcoin. A transparent cryptocurrency with…

Bitcoin Cash Memes! **We have lift off! Bitcoin Cash blasts off into space!** We are witnessing amazing price action since yesterday. Strong volumes and a price for Bitcoin Cash that seems unstoppable. Bitcoin Cash is just beginning its journey and will attract millions of users during this renewed interest in cryptocurrencies. While the price action is exciting we are still expecting to increase adoption, because it is the utility of the Bitcoin Cash network that increases…

Dogecoin Fees above $2! & r/CryptoCurrency Censorship Doge is the cryptocurrency that was created with the sole purpose of being a meme. During the time it was created most altcoins were ridiculous and had no purpose. Doge has the Shiba Inu meme at its core in order to explain how much of a joke the cryptocurrency market was at that time. An internet meme that has grown so much to now hold an 80 billion dollar market cap. It's not a joke anymore, but something alarming. Doge…

Musk on SNL tonight! Should we care? I was reading that Musk will be visiting today the "SNL" and thought what the heck is this now. SNL... SNL... must be something really important. Possibly a convention, or a major think tank, or perhaps a meeting with government officials. I thought of many words that might match this SNL and when I found what it means it was very disappointing. It seems this is a show American's love to watch called "**Saturday Night Live**" and Elon…

Barry Silbert Is Shorting Doge - Warnings Were Given My attention was on Dogecoin for the past two days. I consider this important because Doge had reached at market cap levels close to $100 Billion, making it possibly one of the biggest market bubbles of all time. I have given two warning posts on read.cash in the last two days, and I hope these posts have helped some people decide what kind of risk they are entering when buying Dogecoin at this kind of price. My previous…

In Slovenia, Bitcoin Is Cash Focused on the adoption of Bitcoin as cash and having in mind that the only version that is applicable for this reason is Bitcoin Cash, we have embarked on a quest to explain and promote Bitcoin Cash adoption in the business world. Shop owners and any kind of merchants are onboarding every day, and campaigns are running to increase the adoption of Bitcoin Cash for its utility in everyday transactions. In previous articles I explored the adoption…

Bitcoin Cash Argentina I have been covering lately a lot of locations where Bitcoin Cash is gaining in adoption levels and increasing userbase. More than often places where the national currency is failing merchants and consumers need an alternative to fiat. Argentina has a long history of high inflation and an economic crisis that started at the beginning of the century and it still hasn't been resolved. Moreover, the IMF and international lenders, as well as domestic…

Bitcoin Cash Volumes in USD terms are Increasing The number of daily transactions for Bitcoin Cash has dropped since noise.cash introduced batching of transactions. The numbers are still great, but down significantly, however, the point was made, Bitcoin Cash can scale and accommodate 400,000 transactions daily, without any scaling issue. Since the beginning of the year Bitcoin Cash passed BTC in this indicator and fees remained lower than $0,01, while BTC reached all-time…

I made it to the top-10 tippers! The diamond next to my name is now golden! I will try to make this last for as long as I can! I've been reading so many amazing posts recently on read.cash. Anyone that I didn't tip or I don't follow, I'm sorry this is just because there is little time and while I love reading, I also love writing. Sooner or later, I will be following and reading articles from everyone I am currently missing.

PoW Explained for Dummies (Elon Musk Edition) The market had a mini-crash yesterday after the Elon Musk tweets. He claimed that Tesla won't be accepting BTC for payments, and in the same tweet, he says Tesla will not sell its BTC. Stressing environmental concerns, he expressed his interest in cryptocurrencies once again, but he also recommended everyone to change our PoW ways into something less energy-consuming. Yes, we know already the BTC network is severely inefficient.…

Giving More Attention to NOISE.CASH I find noise.cash to be a great source of information lately. Following the right people and being active makes the experience more fulfilling. I've also noticed the previous spammers with posts saying "Good night" to everyone, even though it is always going to be "day" in another part of the world seem to have been reduced to a bare minimum. Noise.cash is moving in the right direction and while I was always supportive, I will increase my…

Optimize Your Life Strategy We are always trying to find the optimal solution to deal with our problems. Sometimes though problems are so complex and out of our control, yet however, they are affecting us to a great extent. Our societies have evolved, medicine and technology too, but very often a problem will arise that we can't do much about it. Moreover, all our life is a decision making process. Even if we don't know it, subconsiously we calculate everything. We set our…

Google Trends - Predictive Analytics "Sentiment", is one of the most important indicators of almost anything. We have tools at our disposal that can give us a great picture of a market. Some of the most important indicators, like the influx of fiat currency, are not always officially announced by exchanges or the announcement is strategically delay. Exchange volumes have been manipulated since 2011 with wash-trading and the order books are filled with spoof orders that…

Bitcoin Cash And Smart Contracts Bitcoin Cash managed to do so much in such a small time. Since the 2017 Bitcoin split, Bitcoin Cash proceeded with an important upgrade to the block size, and has managed to become **the cryptocurrency of utility**. What was theoretical, became a reality in 2021, and with the help of **noise.cash** the network transactions and usage increase to overtake those of BTC. And as Bitcoin Cash transactions exceeded those of BTC, BCH transaction fees…

Reducing Cost - Increasing Profitability Have you ever been in a position where you had just a small amount in tokens left in an exchange, but you can't find how to withdraw without paying too much? Some coins are listed in exchanges that we don't often use and we have to deal with too many rules we don't know about. I've recently tried to send some coins I was holding for months in wallets in the HitBTC exchange to sell. I was surprised to see TRX withdrawal fees of 108.5…

You've Been Fooled I was scrolling through a website yesterday and stumbled upon an article striving to make meaning of a previous BTC narrative for financial inclusion and freedom. Bitcoin used to be about that, but not anymore with the BTC version. The moment it was decided for Bitcoin not to scale, it instantly excluded 8 billion people from its financial network and became a toy for the whales and a few wealthy individuals (Musk, Saylor,Jack, etc). What this post is…

A Mountain of GOLD! For thousands of years, gold operates as the ultimate store of value and only in the previous century its glory started fading. Gold is still powerful but lost a lot of its appeal after the third industrial revolution that set the basis for a technological process humankind never witnessed before. The wealth of nations has risen significantly, however, the rapid increase of population was also a factor that increased poverty. Looking back, everything was…

I created a Noise channel with the name " Crypto Twitter ". https://noise.cash/c/crypto-twitter-7kl546m1 It's purpose is to bring screenshots of important, funny, or relevant to crypto tweets and discuss them in the comments section. I made the channel open for anyone to post and comment. I hope I did this part right as I don't want censorship. You are all welcome to join if you find this interesting!

Crypto Was A Positive Change I joined the Crypto world in March 2017. I had absolutely no idea what to do and how to use cryptocurrencies. I started learning using google searches and suddenly I found coinmarketcap. I didn't even know there were more cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin. I remember the page was looking like this one I post. Not the exact screenshot but very close. *Historical Snapshot by* *Coinmarketcap**.* https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20170312/ The first…

Three months In Read.Cash - $2658.27 in BCH Rewards! Soon it will be three months for me in read.cash and I can safely say, this was a pleasant time I've had and I'm certain there will be a lot more to come. I don't know if I will be working again as an employee of someone as the economies are reopening. Frankly, I have no desire to do that, as all my previous experiences brought very poor results. I may try to find a job in a hotel now that tourism is starting to move…

Enjin Wallet - A Huge Disappointment There are countless problems created with the state of high fees in many of the dominant blockchains. Bitcoin is becoming worthless for transactions, and nobody is using Ethereum either unless this is for many thousands of dollars transactions for DeFi purposes. Lately, we witness a decline in Ethereum fees, still, $5 to move a token is just too much to ask for, when in the first half of 2020 we were moving ERC20 tokens and NFTs for…

Get Ready for: "BITCOIN MUSK" Fork! All join Bitcoin Musk! The environmentalist Bitcoin! **$BTCM** will do the flippening. This is the logical outcome of all of Musk's recent tweets. A Bitcoin as Musk wants it, one that will have a PoW mechanism based on renewable energy, and anything else Elon can think of how cryptocurrency should look like. A "**Bitcoin Musk**" fork of the BTC blockchain is conceivable. Since Elon Musk claims that he is in talks with BTC miners and tries…

The Mining Situation in China China has announced many times a ban on cryptocurrency, however, this was never a blanket ban. The crypto mining industry was very profitable to be shut down, so the Chinese government didn't crack down on it but allowed miners to keep their operations intact. Meanwhile, the population is still allowed to hold cryptocurrencies. The exchanges in mainland China were shut down in September 2017 and also the financial institutions in China are not…

Experiences with Blogging Platforms I decided to shuffle the cards a bit and stop using some platforms completely as they have only been a waste of time and energy for me.

It is already looking a lot better writing and posting there, and I had a positive experience during. I…

Dealing With A Damaged Portfolio It is already more than four years since the beginning of my crypto adventure. This post is out of my experience and the many mistakes made. I am currently realizing how to design a better strategy and wanted to share the general concept, which in case you don't want to read is to hold Cryptocurrencies as a decade-long investment. Mistakes were countless and the real problem was not managing to understand how my small investments could prove…

Bitcoin Cash Separates Money And State ***"Making society more productive would require limitations to that power, and the people who spent a career gaining power are not likely to give it up voluntarily."*** Quote from: link https://motherlandfatherland.wordpress.com/2017/12/31/the-repressive-state-apparatus-and-the-ideological-state-apparatus/ The main reason Bitcoin didn't scale can be derived from this title.
