BCH Culture

  • Things have been really quiet lately
  • No drama
  • No big releases
  • Everyone heads down working?
  • Feels like we need some kind of splashy new app or marketing push to build hype
  • Wrecking the laser eyes on Twitter is kind of passe, even Adam Back can’t handle the heat

BTC is a mess

  • Drivechains going in circles
  • CTV people trying to get a word in
  • John Carvalho upset about no changes, upset about changes
  • Ordinals have/haven’t died depending on the preference of commenter
    • Apparently still driving >50% of BTC onchain volume, but fees have collapsed?
    • No one using BTC for payments?

BSV is a mess

  • Trending discussion in the BSV space:
    • Joshua Henslee “BSV is on life support”
    • Craig Mason reaction “BSV just appears to be on life support”
  • Some element of coming to terms with their mistakes (as also seen in BCH), but they’ve got a community rift over what to do next (as with BTC)
    • Josh admits BCH people were right about centralising nodes
    • Doubling down on BSV though

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
