A few examples (some are taken from here) are:

  1. Second most used crypto currency in the world for payments.

    1. Very popular in Australia

    2. Very popular in Slovenia: 800+ locations

  2. On chain privacy tools that can provide privacy on par with Monero.

    1. See CashShuffle (done) and CashFusion (current state: alpha testing).

  3. SLP Tokens - tokens built on Bitcoin Cash

    1. You can send tokens without having to use Bitcoin Cash

    2. Including USDH (a stablecoin pegged to USD)

    3. Create your own token

  4. On chain dividend payments to token holders.

  5. Amazing new Opcodes like OP_CheckDataSig

    1. Enables non-custodial escrow contract

    2. Covenants

  6. Listed on nearly every exchange around the world with many using it as a base pair

  7. Last will (BCH inheritance)

  8. Two high-level contract languages: CashScript (Smart Contracts language inspired by Ethereum's solidity) and Spedn (example)

  9. Use a contactless smartcard to store your Bitcoin Cash and sign your transactions (like a credit card)

    1. Offline transactions

  10. CashChannels - recurring payments for Bitcoin Cash, where you don't have to pre-commit money ahead of time

  11. Only 1 out of 1104 double spend attempts succeeded when broadcast more than 1 second later

  12. Multiple full node implementations: Bitcoin ABC, Bitcoin Unlimited, BCHD, Flowee, Bitcoin Verde

    1. Gigabyte-block ready

  13. Lightning fast

  14. Schnorr Signatures

  15. 32MB maximum block size increase limit enabling ~200 tx per second

  16. The crypto currency with the most physically accepting merchants in the world.

  17. Amazing developers and people

  18. Future development and ideas:

    1. Recoverable Bitcoin Cash wallets - use a simple password to recover lost or stolen private key

    2. Mitra: On-chain games, Native tokens, Decentralized exchanges, Advanced wallets, Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), Zero-knowledge proofs.

    3. Avalanche and Storm: pre-consensus protocols (safer zero-confimation transactions)

The future will be more optimistic to BCH with BTC with high fee like that I shifted all or almost total of my earnings (that aren't that much) to BCH that is almost zero in fees💪 and with a good support I hope in future I build a powerful BCH house in Mozambique👌
