BTC Community Defers

• For the first time ever, the BTC community are talking internally about BCH as worth watching/emulating
• Theorised on #121, confirmed here
• This has never happened before in history
• A Flippening is just a matter of time

BTC Conference

• The event largely seemed to be driven by tradfi & politicians
• Trump said he would put seized BTC into the national reserve
• RFK Jr says he put most of his wealth in BTC & will buy 550 BTC / day until US gov has 4 million BTC
• Sen Lummis introduced a bill to buy 1 million Bitcoin
• Was there any real BTC commerce there?
• Open source stage not streamed, unlikely to have anything valuable though
• BTC = Democrats, unaware of the other side

Selene Stats

• Selene released it’s long awaited stats module
• Around 60 people per day, 200 in a week
• Already setting ATHs again in week 2
• We’ve also seen stats released by AFoG this week too
• There’s also been some stats released by BCH Bull, BCH Guru, Cauldron
• Is this the next frontier for BCH, more publicly accessible stats & info on how adoption is progressing?
• What other projects would be good to see stats from?

VM Limits & Big Ints

• As discussed on last episode 122 with Jason Dreyzehner - Thoughts?
• Some people were unclear about the benefits:
• Faster, easier & less buggy contract dev
• More efficient contracts > better scalability
• Better 0 conf (ZCEs)
• BCH protocol upgrades streaking ahead of competitors. Bounded Loops & UTXO Commitments in 2026?

NanoGPT Integration

• Mira Hurley announces impressive 0-conf prompt .cash integration with Nano AI service “nano-gpt”
• Great to see rising BCH adoption in “less aligned” parties
• Try it out! Be aware, it auto-converts to XNO & you cannot withdraw in BCH
• Really great to see the positivity & engagement with & from the community after this announcement
• When BCH withdrawals?

ETH Inflation

• 2y 359d since EIP-1559
• 1y 318d ago, ETH merge
• ETH is now inflating again, first time since the Merge
• Economics has taken its course & the ETH community have figured out (in aggregate) that they are the ones being charged for their own “”burn””

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
