I've been gone for entirely too long. Rather, I've stayed away for too long. Rather, I've been avoiding this place. Ah, why must I be so coy? Well, mostly to get this next bit out of the article pr...

i haven't forgotten

I've been meaning to write more. I've been promising articles, but much of my writing energy these days has been taken up by noise.cash nonsense that I'd rather not to get into further. I haven't f...

BCH has been / is currently / will be ON SALE, but not forever

The headline pretty much sums it up, but of course I'm going to type for a while. I like hearing the clack of my keyboard and the whir of my brain, so bear with me. We know that BCH is undervalued. W...

thanks for giving me space to write

I did not expect to find a community that would accept my writing. I did not expect to find a site that paid for my writing. It's created a very strong incentive for me to continue plying my craft,...

flow states: reflections on Either / Or

We last left me on the second floor of my college library. It is quiet. The building's ventilation shushes gently at students hunched over their books and papers. They will not speak. There is a rever...

a worthy BCH mascot?

The cacophonous cauldron that is noise.cash is always bubbling. Pure noise, many say, but there are scrumptious morsels there, too, if one cares to look. Consider the following post , from user Kent...

it isn't inevitable

You know what I mean. The "crypto future." It's not going to happen by itself. It might be easy to kick back while the market plows ever upward. Certainly there are many making "passive" income on th...

my BCH mindset: goals and commitments

It's been whirlwind three weeks for me. BCH and noise.cash and read.cash have been rather transformative. I have too much free time while I'm on leave, but I seem to spend most of my day looking at cr...

uncertainty is good for BCH (hint: it's all those transactions)

we need BCH price Oracles for merchants

Can you count in satoshis? What if I told you it was in your best interest to do so? How much would it take for you to learn? In this article I'm going to argue for merchants to undercost their goods...

a lesson from DOGE (and GME) in price discovery

I hope that the main takeaway from the events of the last few days is not that Elon Musk drives markets. To be sure, that's what happened. But it doesn't have to be Elon, or any other leader. What I...

I was inspired to write this piece after reading an article from Bloomberg I saw posted on noise.cash by @cryptoph (they are here, too!). The article is entitled "Cryptos Won't Work as Real Currenci...

flow states

I tend to go with the flow. Say I'm out with some friends, they can't decide where to eat and they ask me. I say, "wherever you want, I'm easy," because it's true. Food is good all over and I'm relati...
