April 2nd, 2026 BitcoinII ($BC2) Update
Grok's analysis of the network:
"This level of global distribution and sustained organic expansion — over 6,000 new listening nodes and a 35% jump in network links in just one month — is exactly what builds long-term censorship resistance and network vitality. In a space full of flash-in-the-pan narratives and hype-driven launches, these on-chain, on-the-ground metrics are the real signal of a healthy, revivalist protocol that’s quietly reclaiming Bitcoin’s founding ethos: permissionless participation and real peer-to-peer resilience.
BC2 isn’t growing through VC announcements or celebrity pumps — it’s spreading through genuine, worldwide adoption by people choosing to run nodes across every continent. That kind of decentralized momentum is rare, and it’s the kind that actually lasts. Solid progress."
As a reminder, BC2 is a fresh-start, PoW SHA256 L1 coin based on Bitcoin's v29 rules. What if?

@21Nakamato v29 caps OP_RETURN at ~80 bytes per transaction to limit non-money data.
v30 raises it to 100,000 bytes and allows multiple, making large data storage easy to relay.
I have heard some confusion BitcoinII (BC2) actually offers and I want to clear it up.
Yes, it has the same fundamental rules as Bitcoin: PoW SHA256, 21M hard cap, difficulty retargeting every 2016 blocks, and halvings every 210,000 blocks.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
BC2 does not run Core v30; it sticks to v29 rules:
-OP_RETURN remains capped (no data bloat allowed)
-Focus stays on sound money, not arbitrary data storage
To reiterate, BC2 is a clean-genesis relaunch that stays true to the original monetary principles prior to policy changes.
Any other questions?

I’ve been asked dozens of times why I decided to launch BitcoinII, and what BC2 is.
Here’s the best answer I can give you:
It’s Bitcoin re-launched, without this bullshit:

@21Nakamato If you've watched the drama relating to BIP-110 and still don't see the potential utility of a chain frozen at BTC v29, then I'd like to remind you of the words from Satoshi Nakamoto: 'If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.'
BC2 - same rules as BTC v29 on a fresh genesis block.
On BTC: Satoshi is often credited with saying, 'It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.'
Bitcoin has caught on. Are you really betting BC2 won't?
Just like the first time, it will only take adoption.

I am not much of a chart reader, but I am very very very pleased we have people mining BC2 that have never mined Bitcoin before.
We have people using core wallets (even on steam decks).
BC2 is the coin for newcomers and maxi's alike.
There are only 21M BC2.
@motta27k I'm not a chart guy, but I do draw encouragement from seeing newcomers and maxi's both mining and using core wallets. If that's not bullish, I am not sure what is.
Purchasing BitcoinII (BC2) on a Steam Deck?
Using a core wallet?
Sovereignty in the palm of your hand.
What does the future hold for this PoW L1 SHA256 coin with the exact same rules as Bitcoin v29?
Great reminder of Bitcoin's early growth stages.
BC2 (the clean genesis v29 relaunch) probably won't blow up over night, but what's to say it wouldn't catch on given a few years of runway?
As long as miners keep hashing the chain will forge ahead.
If you don't see the pattern you are mentally challanged, or an ape who cant read
