Recently, I have been suffering from insomnia every day and thinking about a lot of things every day Actually, I'm a very strong person I've always wanted to be an influencer on Twitter But in fact, it is not Missing some luck, missing some ability And it feels like I'm getting lazy now In the past, I would do some market analysis charts every day I don't know when I haven't been doing 😂 it I guess many people don't know that I'm a market analyst Several waves of key markets with fans are unsatisfactory The bch of the year of 312 was really influential at that time 200 with fans to do long bch did 500 Continue to die long, target 1000, and then blow up The same goes for last year's ZEN Obviously 10 and 15 layouts, up to 46 But a bunch of people lost money with me Greedy every time, aiming too high There is always an obsession, and if you don't see it, you will accept it I often think if 312 that wave bch to 1000 Last year that wave of zen went to 100 Could it be a different ending? Will I be the most influential It's a pity that there are no ifs in life, only results and consequences In fact, although I am the first generation of ancient KOLs However, there have been no brilliant results in recent years I didn't bring fans to make money I'm garbage, I'm a loser I also made a mess of trading by myself Last year I earned a few waves of big ones Profits add up to at least $10 million In fact, the whole is still losing money The defense is particularly poor, always up and down My past self was a failure I'm sorry for every fan who trusts me I hope for the future Rediscover the passion and responsibility of being a KOL for 18 years You can share more valuable content You can bring the iron fans who still trust me to make money At the same time, I will continue to improve my cognitive and trading skills Previously, this number was sent by me and my team In the future, I plan to send it completely by myself Well, that's all there is to it It's dawn, and I'm going to sleep with insomnia

Also, the hesitancy of Bitcoin Core to adopt new soft forks -- [such as APO, CTV, Bip300, CAT] -- must be reinterpreted, in the light of the OP RETURN drama. OP Return, is *nothing*. The OP_NOP softforks -- harmless, opt-in, and reversible -- are also nothing. But a mote of dust is roughly 500 quadrillion atoms. If an army is going to halt at every mote of dust, it is not going to get very far. But the bigger problem is that it (apparently) will also halt at each *atom*. (The "atom" being op_return, and the "mote of dust" bing like CTV or Bip300.) This does indeed have big implications for the survival of Bitcoin, and the viability of competitors ( Altcoins , hard forks , even CBDCs ) .

Bitcoin Core might be dead. It isn't about OP RETURN per se -- it is about *the reaction* to OP RETURN. The mob justice. It seems to me, that you can't get anything useful done under these conditions. OP RETURN is a very small fry -- very very small. So -- what does it mean, for Core to be dead? In the short run, I don't know. In the long run, miners will run the software that **maximizes their revenue**. The devs of **that software** will obviously allow all OP RETURN sizes, sorting them by fee. People who care about DoS protection (or something else), might run different nodes (or no node at all). If they try to reject a *valid*, block that is accepted by 51% hashrate -- then they are hardforking off the network, like BCH. Empty threat.

This was a really good altcoin tweet. We'll review this and look at the chart progressions. Key in on weekly time frames for bullish trends. Some will go parabolic.

Certain altcoins such as $SUSHI that are still in weekly time frame bearish trends could take as long as 6-8 months to flip into bull trend. I included some visual comparison charts here with $AAVE and $BCH to help understand why I say this

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency payment network created to implement Bitcoin's core idea of facilitating peer-to-peer payments for everyday transactions rather than becoming a preferred store of value like Bitcoin (BTC).

Despite being the gold standard of the crypto world, Bitcoin has some inherent problems that are widely debated in the public domain. Its limited 1 MB block size is the most well-known of these, making it unscalable. This shortcoming has caused a notable rise in Bitcoin's transaction fees.

A section of the Bitcoin network's participants had been pushing for larger blocks as early as 2010. However, seeing no result from their efforts, this group hard-forked Bitcoin Cash from the Bitcoin blockchain on August 1, 2017. Bitcoin Cash was launched with an 8 MB block size limit, later expanding to 32 MB in 2018.

The main aim of Bitcoin Cash is to fulfill the original purpose of Bitcoin. Its team constantly strives to make BCH a cheaper, faster, scalable, and easy-to-use peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It also doesn't hold back regarding increasing block sizes or making other updates to keep the project well-aligned with its core objective. Bitcoin Cash works like Bitcoin, as it can be easily transferred from one individual to another without financial intermediaries or censorship.

BCH token holders can send and receive BCH through their digital wallets using the unique public keys associated with the latter. As a result, BCH transactions are settled almost instantly and involve a lower average transfer fee. Some well-known businesses that accept Bitcoin Cash for their goods and services are Twitch, Newegg, CyberGhost VPN, SlingTV, Namecheap, airBaltic, ALFAtop, Menufy, SatoshiDice, CoinRemitter, and eGifter.

How does BCH work?

Bitcoin Cash's workings are quite similar to that of Bitcoin. The primary difference is the bigger block size, allowing higher transaction speeds and lower fees. That said, larger block sizes make audit and storage expensive and lead to difficulties downloading a copy of the blockchain.

Like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash also uses a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus model for securing its network. Entities called miners compete against each other to process transactions and add new blocks to the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. They employ complex computing devices for this purpose. The hashing algorithm of Bitcoin Cash is SHA-256, the same as that of Bitcoin.

One of the biggest differentiators between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is the "difficulty adjustment" for mining new blocks. While the Bitcoin software adjusts this difficulty factor every 2,016 blocks, it's done every 10 minutes in Bitcoin Cash.

The frequent updates aim to provide a clearer understanding of the required computing power for BCH mining. Miners of Bitcoin Cash receive rewards in the form of new BCH coins and transaction fees for their efforts in adding blocks. Bitcoin Cash also supports smart contracts, enabling the creation of decentralized applications (DApps) on its blockchain. Notable DApps built on Bitcoin Cash include CashFusion, CashScript, eatBCH, Flipstarter, AnyHedge, Libauth, Spedn, and Fountainhead.

Bitcoin Cash has a decentralized, low-cost, high-throughput, easy-to-use network for BCH transactions. Any changes required on its mainnet involve many nodes and a high level of consensus. This restricts trial-and-error processes, which are a must for innovation.

Launched in July 2021, Smart Bitcoin Cash or SmartBCH is a side chain of Bitcoin Cash created to explore new ideas and unlock new possibilities. It's compatible with Web3 API and Ethereum's EVM, offering high throughput for DApps, in a secure, decentralized, and fast environment. The side chain doesn't have any new tokens. Its native token is BCH, and all gas fees on the network are paid in BCH.

BCH price and tokenomics

Like Bitcoin, the maximum supply of Bitcoin Cash has a hard cap of 21 million coins. Of these, 19.17 million were in circulation at the time of writing. There are 17.12 million BCH holding addresses at press time, with the top 10 addresses holding nearly 2.3 million BCH. When Bitcoin Cash hard forked from Bitcoin, almost 16.5 million BCH coins were distributed amongst existing BTC holders at 1:1.

Every time a BCH miner successfully adds a new block to the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, s/he is awarded BCH coins as a reward. This process brings new BCH coins into the circulating supply. Bitcoin Cash has a deflationary mechanism called "halving," like Bitcoin. As per this mechanism, the block mining rewards are halved every 210,000 blocks or approximately four years. It shares Bitcoin's transaction history in this regard up to August 1, 2017, the day of its launch.

The last Bitcoin Cash halving happened in April 2020, which reduced the mining rewards from 12.5 BCH per block to 6.25 BCH. The next halving event is expected to occur in 2024, reducing the BCH mining reward to 3.125 BCH per block.

BCH developments

The most significant event in Bitcoin Cash's history was the 2018 hard fork, resulting in the creation of Bitcoin SV (BSV) on November 15, 2018. This split led to a significant drop in BCH's price from $444 to an all-time low of $76 on December 16, 2018. The hard fork emerged as a "civil war" between two competing camps within the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem. One camp, led by Roger Ver and Bitmain's Jihan Wu, supported the Bitcoin ABC software, maintaining a 32 MB block size. In contrast, the other camp, led by Craig Steven Wright and Calvin Ayre, favored Bitcoin SV with a 128 MB block size.

Another significant development for Bitcoin Cash occurred in March 2020 when Tether (USDT) stablecoin was launched on its blockchain through the SLP (simple ledger protocol) token standard. This implementation allowed users to transact USDT on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain alongside networks like EOS, Ethereum, Tron, Algorand, Liquid Network, and Omni.

About the founders

Network participants and miners collectively founded Bitcoin Cash in the Bitcoin ecosystem. These included prominent names like Roger Ver, Amaury Sechet, Bitmain, ViaBTC, and Craig Wright.

All these participants were against the proposed Segwit2x upgrade on Bitcoin, which meant increasing its capacity. They preferred increasing Bitcoin's block size to 8 MB instead. However, unable to fulfill their demand, this group launched a hard fork of Bitcoin on August 1, 2017, and named it Bitcoin Cash.
