What is Bitcoin Cash All About? It’s no secret that I love Bitcoin Cash, so you’ll obviously be getting a positively biased report. (Although I’ll also give you my thoughts on what we need to improve on). For those not intimately familiar with the project, I would like to take a moment and briefly explain what Bitcoin Cash is, and where it came from. It’s probably one of the more misunderstood projects in the space. Bitcoin Cash was born from a contentious fork with BTC, and this event was the culmination of a 4-year debate inside of the Bitcoin community over how to scale the network. The BTC side essentially chose not to scale the network in favor of high miner fees. The BCH side chose instead to scale the blockchain to accommodate more users. This was a legitimate disagreement and fracturing of the Bitcoin community. Many today are unaware of the real nature of that conflict, and many people have been deliberately or unwittingly fed misinformation about Bitcoin Cash. “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” This is the title of the famous Bitcoin whitepaper. And that’s what Bitcoin Cash is all about. The primary reason that Bitcoin Cash came into being was to, in fact, allow Bitcoin to continue as peer to peer cash. BTC no longer works reliably as cash due to congestion and high fees. Although there are many interesting projects in the cryptosphere, I still believe the killer use case for crypto is actually just being money. Nothing is as compelling and humanitarian as sovereign money (i.e. “peer to peer cash”). This seems to have been forgotten as the transfiguration of BTC from electronic cash to digital gold has altered the culture and mindframe in the space. #CTTO
