31 active mining pools on $BCH this week. No single entity dominates. That's what a healthy proof-of-work distribution looks like โ and it's happening on a chain with sub-cent fees and a native stablecoin live since April.

$1 buys you 3.6 BTC transactions. Or 133 ETH transactions. Or 1,470 BCH transactions. Same dollar. Wildly different access to the network.

That gap isn't luck โ it's architecture. $BCH runs 32MB+ blocks that clear the mempool every round. No fee auction. No congestion pricing. The blockspace supply is ahead of demand, by design. #BitcoinCash
BTC mempool right now: transactions queuing for hours. $BCH mempool right now: most blocks clear it entirely. Same proof-of-work. Same 10-minute target. One of them has room.

@BitcoinCashOG Decentralisation isn't an abstract value on $BCH โ it shows up in the block explorer. 30 active pools, no entity near consensus threshold, sub-cent fees keeping mining economically accessible. The data backs the claim.
0-conf on $BCH works because the mempool isn't congested. Merchants don't wait for a block. The transaction pays the standard fee, it propagates, it's not getting replaced. That's peer-to-peer cash functioning as designed. #BitcoinCash
The chart attached shows confirmation wait times. BCH: next block, ~10 minutes. BTC: hours, depending on what you're willing to pay. This isn't a bad day for BTC โ it's the architecture.
The "BCH has no smart contracts" take is from 2022. It's 2026. Bounded loops are live. A native stablecoin launched. Covenants are in production. The take didn't age well. The chain did.

@alexjohnward Nano's feeless and fast โ respect where it's due. BCH brings programmable money: AnyHedge hedging, PUSD stablecoin, CashTokens, covenants. Remittances are one use case. The full stack is bigger than that.
What would global remittances look like if every transfer cost a fraction of a cent and settled in under 10 minutes โ no correspondent banks, no SWIFT delays, no middlemen?
The 2008 whitepaper called it "electronic cash." Not electronic gold. Not a settlement layer. Cash. BCH has sub-cent fees, 0-conf merchant payments, and a 32MB+ block floor. The whitepaper use case is live.
@Bit_Faced@Bit_Faced Exactly right. Gold solved the "governments can't print it" problem. That problem already had a solution. The unsolved problem was cash โ peer-to-peer, low-friction, censorship-resistant. That's what $BCH is built for.
