Marketing is an important element in every industry. Considering cryptocurrencies, it is often the only feature a project may be excelling at.
While marketing is often fiercely criticized of aggressive methods, and often accused of misinforming consumers, it is a necessary “evil” that increases visibility, exposure, and brand awareness.
In the cryptocurrency industry, it is the one factor that can be a decisive factor for (a short term) success.
Bitcoin Cash lacks extensive marketing. Even worse, Bitcoin Cash also lacks PR, and has a negative image in the cryptocurrency market. The BTC maximalists "numbers" are overwhelming and quite effective at indoctrinating newcomers.
BCH doesn’t favor unnecessary hype, still, the BTC side arguments against Bitcoin Cash on all fronts have an immense effect on the vast majority of investors.
A newcomer will require additional time to process and overcome the misleading BTC narratives and forge an opinion. Cryptocurrency media downplays, excludes, ignores, and censors vital Bitcoin Cash information investors are interested in.
Bitcoin Cash dominates in developments, on-chain adoption, and institutions are noticing, although it also suffers from limited coverage by crypto news and to a greater extent the mainstream media (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc).
Marketing is not about Fake Narratives, Nore Public Manipulation
We watch an overwhelming number of crypto-influencers (a.k.a. manipulators of public opinion) bashing Bitcoin Cash on any opportunity since it serves them to please their audience. They have convinced them during the years that BTC should be the vast part of their portfolio and any mention of Bitcoin Cash is always under a negative approach.
Lately, because of the BCH increase in userbase and the development of SmartBCH, the same "influencers" just avoid any BCH discussion instead of commenting with a negative approach.
BTC has completely failed as a means of exchange, while Bitcoin Cash has proven Bitcoin's ability to scale.
It takes some time for someone outside of the crypto field to understand what happened and why there is still hatred between the BTC and BCH communities, but the BTC side narratives are always some dumbed-down catchphrases like :
"The market has decided",
or
"Have fun staying poor".
There is no argument when the facts are presented.
What matters most to the BTC side is "the number go up". All the discussion is about the price and how BTC will make anyone investing today rich. This is, of course, a red flag for any serious investor and lately, we see BTC struggling to find new inflows of cash, except perhaps the El Salvador taxpayers' money.
Even major popular figures can't even discuss Bitcoin Cash properly, concerned they will lose appeal to the BTC investors.
Bitcoin Cash finds some voluntarist initiatives like Satoshi Angels that send the message and help Bitcoin Cash increase adoption levels.
Bitcoin Cash has to be positioned as a cheap, fast, reliable, and decentralized cryptocurrency.
Although, millions have been following the "number go up" narrative and are not interested in this aspect.
The speculators are not there for the long term and have no interest in the technological aspect. There is no reason to try and convince speculators about the long-term potential and merits of a network.
Any false accusations made by a popular spokesperson have to be met with a precise response by the right people and leave no room for further argument.
noise.cash 300,000 members & read.cash: 78,000
Noise.cash and read.cash are providing exemplary service to Bitcoin Cash, bringing new users into the ecosystem and contributing to the education of newcomers.
For a community to succeed it takes more than just code. The placement of the BCH network in the current market was poor, and there is a need to bridge this gap.
Noise.cash succeeds in enhancing the userbase as thousands of new users are exploring Bitcoin Cash and SmartBCH.
Noise.cash is part of what will be the Metaverse in the future. And Bitcoin Cash has passed a test that seriously, few understand.
There is no other platform offering such a test for microtransactions. I hope all major payment networks, virtual platforms, and websites take notice.
What noise.cash produce today is what will be the future of the internet.

In Conclusion
The current state of Bitcoin Cash in the cryptocurrency marketcap valuation is lower than ever. It is a pitty to see random new networks that lack the qualities of Bitcoin Cash attracting the attention and inflows of new investors money.
Achieving higher price is not a mandatory purpose. Price will increase as adoption increases.
There is need for advertisement and popular support to achieve mass adoption.
While the BTC maximalists have ground at mainstream media to deliver blows to Bitcoin Cash, the Bitcoin Cash community has very few platforms that help expand the userbase and attract investors (Crypto-News Websites: Massive Manipulation, Propaganda & Censorship of Bitcoin Cash).
Bitcoin Cash is almost invisible in the crypto media. The crypto news websites are removing Bitcoin Cash from the headlines and try to ignore it, while at the same time eager to promote articles negative towards Bitcoin Cash.
We can build from there, but maybe some people with connections with Coindesk, Cointelegraph and other similar media can push and ask them to acknowledge there are developements in Bitcoin Cash as the network is performing admirably.
I wonder how Solana, Cardano, Luna, Polkadot, Avalance, etc., get all this attention and Bitcoin Cash or SmartBCH are nowhere to be found.
Marketing is multidimensional and doesn't only focus on certain features, but expands into finding new areas of opportunity.
SmartBCH is a marketing campaign on its own for Bitcoin Cash, since it runs on top of it, and has no native coin but is using Bitcoin Cash instead. With SmartBCH, Bitcoin Cash penetrated the market of smart contracts that processes DeFi and NFT application. A market that offers unlimited possibilities.
It is a development that brings thousands of new users in the ecosystem and perhaps will become a magnet to DeFi and NFT investors, since the infrastructure is ready and anyone can test it at no cost.
It should also be promoted, explained and announced to the world. Investors, don't know what SmartBCH is, yet.
