The future of social media belongs to censorship-resistant platforms It's not a message one likes to see. *btcfork*'s account has been suspended indefinitely on a claim of '*vote manipulation*'. There is an appeal process, and if the admin reconsider, we may be back at some point. Having been temporarily suspended from Twitter before by an indiscriminate algorithm, *btcfork* is no stranger to the dangers of centralized social media platforms. That's why *btcfork* has a…

Don't forget the Mythbuster competition! Your chance to win the **1 BCH main prize** or the runners-up prizes of 0.666 and 0.333 BCH begins with writing a mythbusting article, preferably on a topic where you have no competition! **Enter before Xmas!** The list below are those from the roadmap which nobody has written on yet: https://read.cash/@btcfork/a-roadmap-to-busting-small-blocker-myths-about-bitcoin-004d2b4c Didn't find something you'd like to write about in that list?…
Graphically: ECB's proof-of-concept CBDC versus Bitcoin Cash Additional Notes *(eventually I hope to update the diagram but space is tight)* left-hand side is original diagram from [1], but "Notes" and right-hand side diagram are my own. Feel free to share with attribution of the sources. the blue lock symbol on RHS (next to the `Financial Institution` ) means "*personal data on others*". Some companies may of course also hold personal data about their customers - that is…
Hashpower voting is preferable to intransparency This isn't going to be a very long article. I'll just share some thoughts and opinions with you. Feel free to disagree in the comments, I welcome debate! Lessons learned Ever since the "*Bitcoin Core problem*" which we faced from 2014-2017, and which prompted the creation of Bitcoin Cash through a hard fork, we have known a few things. Bitcoin miners and exchanges really don't want to be in the limelight, but they have a very…
What's stronger than projects? Protocols. I've been wanting to write more about this topic, because I think it's absolutely key to all our success. Key to the success of the companies, open source projects, merchants and retail customers, and the thousands of individuals involved in Bitcoin Cash. *We need to unite around protocols* rather than particular organizations. We will always be part of some organizations, and others in the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem will be part of…
Read.cash needs a graphical logo This tweet by Naomi Brockwell (pic below - and see links to her content below) rubbed it in my face that read.cash seems to lack a graphical logo! https://twitter.com/naomibrockwell/status/1209884809121746946 See all those other services whose recognizable logos are there? Read.cash needs to get in on that logo goodness! Read.cash is such a great site. I think we ought to put our heads together to suggest ideas, or crowd-fund for a logo…
Advice to myth-busting authors and translators I've noticed some authors writing mythbuster articles on topics which I consider to fall outside the initial scope of the roadmap. https://read.cash/@btcfork/a-roadmap-to-busting-small-blocker-myths-about-bitcoin-974e624b I've also noticed translators immediately translating these, perhaps in the hope of getting MYTHBUSTER points. Advice for authors Quoting from the roadmap post: myths propagated through Bitcoin's history, about…

Advantage cryptocurrency? I just read an opinion piece titled "Say Goodbye to Banking as We Know It" by Andy Mukherjee. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-12-29/china-has-edge-over-silicon-valley-to-end-banking-as-we-know-it In the opening paragraph, it stated a claim which I've seen a few times, and which I think is worth examining, and Twitter seems not well suited to that sort of thought. **The crypto yuan, which may be on offer as soon as 2020, will be fully…
