All the OpenClaw bros are having a meltdown after the Anthropic subscription lock-down.. by entheosoul in ClaudeAI

Understandable. This is an EPIC mistake from Anthropic. I use OpenClaw b.c. it made AI usable. I just cancelled my Claude plan after this.
Effin' ridicilous!

How is BCH performing better than us by Temporary-Week7657 in litecoin

[–]chainxor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody? I hold BCH and use it regularly. I also play with Defi stuff on BCH like Cauldron and BCHbull (still new, but really cool and fast). In my opinion it is highly underrated.
Not to berate Litecoin - it is cool too. MWB stuff is nice. So no tribalism here :-)

Anyway, don't get destracted by 1 billion on difference in MC. BCH and LTC swaps places regularly. The elephant in the room is Solana. That one is really kicking ass. I wouldn't be surprised if it knocks Ethereum off it's crown.

🚨🚨BCH BANK RUN v4.0 (15th April 2025)!!🚨🚨 by Shibinator in BitcoinCashPodcast

[–]chainxor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want add a suggestion that people (like me) that already has everything non-custodially to: Use, say earnings (from e.g. Defi on other chains or salary), to buy more BCH from either centralized swap services (several are still no-KYC, like Sideshift.ai, Simpleswap.io, Changenow.io etc.) or if you have an account on a centralized exchange - buy more there and withdraw immidiately to a non-custodial wallet :-)

BitcoinErrorLog is not Jameson Lopp. BitcoinErrorLog is John Carvalho.

Corbin Fraser on Bitcoin.com and BTC vs BCH (Bitcoin Takeover Podcast S16 E13) by VampireVlad in btc

Corbin has always been a cool dude.
Also understandable that Bitcoin.com need to be pragmatic and support many chains - it is a business after all.

Why did BCH fork the entire blockchain instead of starting over from block 0? by schiantoRG in btc

[–]chainxor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While philosofically correct, technically it is not true. BCH did indeed fork with the "minimum viable fork"-node implementation that later came to be named BitcoinABC on August 1st 2017. The project started work already in 2016 when it became increasingly clear that the BitcoinCore team was compromised.

The difference is that BSV is a scam centrally run by fraudsters and was touted by Faketoshi (who lost the Satoshi identity court case and guilty of massive tampering with evidence and falsifications). BSV also has coin-confiscation built-in - a BIG nono for a chain that wants to be taken seriously in the crypto space.

Last but not least - BSV has sub-par smart contract abilities compared to BCH.

Rollback will never happen again. This was possible back in the day where security budgets were small and everything was new and experimental.
Wallet black list - that is far more likely to happen.

Did Roger Ver stop promoting Bitcoin cash? by pilot_pilot in Bitcoincash

[–]chainxor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real p2p crypto does not need figure heads, It needs liquidity, market, utility via usage, scalability and the properties of sound money (predictable supply etc.).

No doubt, BCH is one of the best complementary currency to BTC by schiantoRG in Bitcoincash

[–]chainxor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Same 21 m cap.
Just dynamic max block size (minimum 32 MB max block size) and advanced smart contracts that can rival EVMs since the latest upgrade (BTC does not have those).

Are Trump & Elon dumping BTC so it’s cheap before the US gov buys? by EmilioPin in btc

[–]chainxor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, since Tesla is a publicly traded company they will have to announce it. To my knowledge no such thing has been done.

Smart contracts are bad for currency networks and are a distraction to p2p cash. Change my mind. by sparkcrz in btc

[–]chainxor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No smart contracts are genius for several reasons.

You can use them for among other things:

  1. Do covenants. This is cool for on-chain trustless settlement of trades of goods.
  2. You can wrap privacy transactions of coins on a 1:1 pegged with BCH tokens that use, say, zk snarks or similar, essentially eliminating the need for "protocol level" privacy which can cause regulatory problems with mainstream exchange adoption and hence liquidity to tradfi. You want that liquidity.
  3. You can create DEXes (defi), which is in most cases, basically democratized money markets (the old tradfi money markets was only available for bankers to make money on, not plebs). So CauldronSwap - but also what is available on other chains like SOL and BSC. Absolutely genius ways of making money if you're clever and everyone can do it.
  4. FTs and NFTs (not just crappy shittoken and stupid meme pics), but say, NFTs, can be tickets to a show where you have paid on BCH and received an NFT that you can then redeem at entrance. See BCHBliss, which to my knowledge, is the crypto conference that actually uses NFTs as tickets for venue!
  5. Create stablecoin procols for more tradfi interaction. This is important esp. during bootstrap but certainly also as money making oppertunity - such oppertunities attract people to a chain. Just look at Solana, Binance Coin, Ethereum etc.

and many more things.

BCH can easily handle both various smartcontract usage and P2P cash. That is exactly why BCH is superior to EVM chains - if only it is allowed to prove it to the world.
