Velma Explainer

  • The Jessicas branding & ABLA video were very high visibility & impact last year
  • This year we’re repeating the formula, but doing a better job of getting the information out ahead of time
  • Correctly presenting and spreading BCH info increases our credibility, interest etc.

BCH Solutions

  • Fixed
    • Splits, failing governance
    • Not distinct from BTC/LTC/others
    • Brand is tarnished
    • L1 scaling won’t work (BSV), potential for another blocksize capture
    • Doubts about protocol dev capability
    • Reliance on Bitcoin.com infrastructure & wallet
    • Heavy involvement of polarising figures e.g. Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, CSW, Amaury Sechet, any other convenient “bad guy of the week”
  • Credibly being solved
    • Low hashrate
    • Underperforming price
    • Privacy improvements
    • On-chain transaction volume
    • Low visibility, little conference presence (internally & externally),, industry sway
    • … essentially any other objections, due to an open-minded, positive, productive & non-defensive culture

BCH Solutions

  • Additional work
    • Education, hoax debunking
    • Rebuilding bridges & civility among Bitcoin communities
    • Delivering industry leading innovation in UTXO technology, decentralised project funding, most impressive merchant adoption hotspots
  • Response?
    • Limited cases: Acknowledgement of progress e.g. PakoVM, RXC. Thanks guys, much appreciated!
    • Usual case: Silence
      • “Hey guys turns out you were right, I had some concerns but you’ve done a really impressive job fixing them, so now I admit I was wrong and I’m joining up.” … said no-one ever
      • Also: continuing to argue with literal non-existing strawmen ghosts from 2017 trauma

Finding Inspiration

  • I don’t know how much inspiration there is left to draw from the “cryptocurrency” industry
    • Nobody in any other coin is seriously on the mission to ship p2p cash to 8 billion people like we are
    • Nobody has more advanced UTXO tech, or better merchant adoption etc.
  • Perhaps BCH needs to draw more widely from culture, art, business, technology?
    • Can we be more proactive about sharing those ideas
  • Infinite game = focus on process, build personal connections which last through downturns

Societal Issues

  • The “current thing” is a debate about plight of young men
  • Marriage rates are plummeting, as are childbirth rates
    • Young men: Can’t find suitable jobs, housing is unaffordable. Feel they’re historically disadvantaged, beyond just the usual low point of being young/broke.
      • Young women: Outperforming men & not impressed by their ability to provide
    • Critics: Stop being lazy, it’s always hard to be young. Get a fast-food job & work your way up.
  • A lowering tide sinks all ships, inflation / cost of living is destroying the disaffected youth around the world. Official CPI is obviously rigged.
    • Can BCH be presented as a solution?
    • Is this why BCH is resonating with men with young families? A source of hope?

That's called obsession

It's something that you live

The only single thing that matters

After your wife and your kids

​

Cos if you can't learn to float

Then you sink or you swim
