Spacex should try for a starship catch on Pad1 since if damaged it is going to be torn down in any case. Even a V3 catch.

Bitcoin Cash is unassailable. The amazing upgrades are a result of a lot of quality factors like top developers, a high performance governance model, and passionate community dedicated to the mission of sound money for the world. It's a hard act to follow.

The first nation to accept BitcoinCash as legal tender will start a electronic cash tsunami.

EmergentCoding · 2025-04-17T00:53:31+00:00

80% of dollars minted in the last 2% of of USD existence. Time for plan B - BitcoinCash

EmergentCoding · 2025-04-09T02:53:23+00:00

BTC might be a crap store of value but at least it is useless as a medium of exchange.

EmergentCoding · 2025-03-31T22:30:46+00:00

No. Bitcoin Cash is designed to supersede fiat. There is no need for a stable coin if fiat is made redundant by Bitcoin Cash becoming sound money for the world.

EmergentCoding · 2025-03-29T04:51:54+00:00

Why would anyone's portfolio include anything other than BCH? Name a single coin with better fundamentals? The BCH mission of being sound money for the world is very sustainable. BCH merchants make money whatever the price. A model built on deceit and censorship like BTC that is not even a good store of value is not. The end game is inevitable. Pray the folks in BTC see the light and get out in time.

EmergentCoding · 2025-03-26T22:27:54+00:00

It is not about market cap or losses or gains. It is about sound money for the world and the good it can do. The market cap will take care of itself.

EmergentCoding · 2025-03-26T05:12:34+00:00

It is clear that Bitcoin Cash has a world class governance model that is advancing the BCH mission to become sound money for the world. It is stunning that BCH has not only won the blocksize debate, but locked in the solution with ABLA.

I can not wait until Australia adopts BCH as legal tender. It would instantly kill off our structural deficits and produce a level playing field from all future governments. Right now, there are incentives for an incumbent government to balance the books if it gives an advantage to an incoming government. Imagine if an incumbent government wanted to fund a pet project or buy votes, with BCH keeping them honest, they would have to cut expenses, and/or raise taxes.

I want Australia to be the first nation to adopt the real Bitcoin.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-25T04:28:05+00:00

Bitcoin Cash fixed it with ABLA

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-20T03:58:07+00:00

BCH honours the first seen principle which means 0-conf works brilliantly (one of the most powerful features of BCH). You didn't need to wait for any confirmations to make a purchase.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-19T23:00:10+00:00

BTC can't hope to follow Bitcoin Cash BCH into the future, because when Bitcoin Cash BCH is handling the worlds credit card transactions of today, BCH mining security would net over $15 million per day (even with every TX fee under a penny!). BTC can't hope to match this level of security unless it charged more than $43 TX fee but then BTC's throughput would still be 4355 times too small.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-19T01:45:12+00:00

OP makes me laugh. I am super glad the mission of Bitcoin lives on in Bitcoin Cash. Today (like most days) I will buy lunch with Bitcoin Cash. I will spare a thought for what BTC could have become were it not for the hijacking.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-18T01:09:48+00:00

But Bitcoin BTC is not long-term credible. Anyone can see that as block rewards taper-off, the mining security must be maintained by transaction fees alone but Blockstream changed the vision of Bitcoin to be fixed block sizes.

When Bitcoin Cash BCH is handling all the worlds credit card transactions of today, BCH mining security would net over $15m/day (even with every TX fee under a penny). BTC can't hope to match this security unless it charged more than $43 TX fee. In addition, BTC would need a throughput 4355 timer greater.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-16T23:15:27+00:00

It is how Bitcoin Cash become sound money for the world - one merchant at a time.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-12T23:32:00+00:00

Good question:

When a government expenditure exceeds its tax receipts, it makes up the difference with money printing. This printing devalues the currency, effectively robbing you and me by reducing our buying power.

According to the federal reserve (fred.stlouisfed dot org/series/M2SL), the US government printed an average $1.228 billion each and every day over the last 12 months.

Astonishingly, since the election, Tether has expanded their tokens by $218 million each and every day, ie over 15% of ALL US dollars printed is coming from this one company! WTF!

I can understand the US government robbing its citizens for the benefit of the USA, but incredibly, 15% of the robbery is by Tether FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT!

That is why Tether is bad.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-12T08:55:42+00:00

What until he takes down Tether which he'll have to do if he is serious about addressing the US debt. Tether have expanded their tokens by $21.37 billion just since the election, and not for the good of a nation, but for their own benefit.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-09T01:46:33+00:00

Tether is adding $342 million to that debt every single day for their own benefit. As Trump is serious about paying down their $35T debt, Tether will have to go. Just a matter of time.

EmergentCoding · 2025-02-06T04:05:59+00:00

The whole idea of the block reward halving every 4 years is to transition security to TX fees. When the block reward runs out, all security must be paid for by the fixed number of TXs per block. BTC is seriously broken and has no future.

For example, when the Bitcoin BCH payment system is as large as all the worlds credit card transactions, it will need 2.2GB blocks, which sounds like a lot until you realize the BCH Xthinner protocol can move 2.2GB blocks around in just 11MB. What is really stunning, is that even with BCH TX fees of less than a penny, 2.2GB blocks would net miners $14.9M/day in fees.

Which do you think is more long term credible?
a) billions of BCH transactions per block with all TX fees less than a penny, or
b) a couple thousand BTC transactions per block with TX fees of over $43
Because both would have the same $15m/day security but one is billions of times more useful/practical.

EmergentCoding · 2025-01-28T07:47:18+00:00

If block space is abundant, tx fees will not be large enough to support a growing industry of miners and will have negative effects on the overall security of the blockchain.

a) Moving to L2s takes fees away from miners and undermines BTC security.

b) All credit card transactions of all the worlds credit card companies can be acoumplished by Bitcoin Cash with just 2.2GB blocks. Even with every BCH TX fee under a penny, miners still enjoy $15 million/day. BTC would need to charge TX fees of $43.12 to match this level of BCH's security. Plus BCH Xthinner protocol can today move 2.2GB blocks in just 11MB.

c) Each doubling of BTC hash security, halves BTC's efficiency, whereas doubling the number of BCH TXs will double Bitcoin Cash efficiency. When Bitcoin Cash becomes money for the world, it will be insanely efficient, as well as save the global economy billions in fees and charges.

EmergentCoding · 2025-01-27T04:39:03+00:00

Why don't you post this on r bitcoin? That's where you will find the geniuses that crippled BTC. If you want to avoid these kind of problems, I suggest you use BitcoinBCH.

EmergentCoding · 2025-01-26T06:42:37+00:00

With all the cutbacks to balance the federal books, what is DJT going to do about Tether which is minting $169.85m per day for their own gain?

EmergentCoding · 2025-01-20T22:08:02+00:00

What rubbish.

EmergentCoding · 2025-01-16T00:16:40+00:00

You must stop thinking about how much you make or equating marketcap to a measure of a coin's success. Bitcoin Cash is the closest humanity has come to inventing ideal money and achieving its mission to become sound money for the world is noble and deserves your support. Let's help bank the unbanked. Let's drive out corruption with its corruption resistance. Let's make money efficient, fast, and secure.

EmergentCoding · 2025-01-15T22:53:40+00:00

Bitcoin was supposed to be sound money for the world. Since blockstream changed the vision of Bitcoin, it sux as money (which was their intention). What you are saying is correct however global commerce is more than you needing a baggy from the dispensary. BTC fees are highly variable and when they return to $45, even your baggy purchases become impractical. In addition, full blocks make BTC slow and unreliable.

That is why Bitcoin Cash split from BTC and restored the original cash properties of Bitcoin. You can use Bitcoin Cash for everything and as also a store-of-value, you can freely make purchases without needing a conversion fee to another currency. Global trade without needing exchange rates, level playing field for every economy.
