On eCash, you can move value between Bitcoin and any sidechain. No middleman. No bridge. No custodian.

Lock BTC on main chain.
Mint equivalent on sidechain.
Transact freely, cheaply, quickly.
Burn on sidechain, unlock on main chain.

Just the same math that made Bitcoin great.

[Paul Sztorc @Truthcoin]

Like the Bible, this article has a sentence for everyone! It manages to say everything and nothing.

(Alas - real knowledge does not work that way.)

By now, everyone knows that Saylor is a fool and a liar. But people still listen -- because he is *rich and famous*. He's holding a gun to Bitcoin's head, so to speak, by being a "large holder" and "spokesperson".

That's why people listen.

They don't turn to Saylor for *advice* on bip-110, or which wallet to use, or how to scale Bitcoin. ...they know he doesn't have any!

THE #BITCOIN FORK THAT STEALS FROM SATOSHI

eCash founder @truthcoin is cutting Satoshi's holdings on his new fork. Here he defends it.

We discuss:

⚡️ Why all BTC forks disrespect Satoshi
⚡️ The negative community reaction
⚡️ Why Satoshi might believe in eCash

BIP 300: Blind Merged Mining.

What it means: sidechains inherit Bitcoin's security without competing for hash rate.

What it doesn't mean: another token, another bridge, another custodian.

The peg is trustless. The throughput is real.

51 days until the most significant Bitcoin event since the halving.

1 BTC → 1 BTC + 1 $ECX

Every Bitcoin address on earth is about to get eCash for free.

MFTV #10: Miner-Aligned Scaling Solutions for Bitcoin | with Drivechains author, Paul Sztorc

🔗 YouTube: https://t.co/2vMfEizGoB
🌿 Spotify: https://t.co/RRcDJ66yuS

CEO of @LayerTwoLabs, Paul Sztorc (@truthcoin), first proposed the Drivechains upgrade (BIP300/301) to enable Bitcoin-native Layer 2s that are trustless and economically aligned with miners.

Today, Paul joins Head of MARA Foundation @isabelfoxenduke to explain why he believes most current thinking around Bitcoin scaling—including Lightning—is fundamentally misguided, and why many proposed L2s will never generate enough value for Bitcoin's long-term security budget.

We also dive into the political history of Bitcoin soft forks—from SegWit to Taproot—what needs to change in the BIP process, and why Paul believes mining pools, not just Core developers, should play a much larger role in Bitcoin governance.

A fascinating conversation on Bitcoin scaling, miner incentives, governance, and one of the ecosystem's most debated upgrade proposals. Whether you agree with Paul or not, his arguments are among the most consistent—and provocative—in the space.

"Sidechains aren't as secure as Bitcoin!"

Correct. They're secured by blind merged mining, which inherits Bitcoin's hash rate without competing for it.

"But it's not the SAME security!"

Neither is your custodial Lightning wallet, champ.

At least our sidechains don't require KYC.

There is now an https://t.co/Ra2Y5E4j4v mobile wallet, at https://t.co/1WR1yh6i82

In a world of: deplatforming, impersonation, etc, it is a great way to stay in touch

[ecash.com @ecashdotcom]

In 2015, we argued about block size.

In 2017, Bitcoin forked over it.

In 2026, we're solving it with sidechains.

Drivechains don't replace Bitcoin. They extend it.

The hard fork is the activation. Not the destination.

[eCash.com @eCashNews]

Every Bitcoin fork since 2017 launched with a promise.

https://t.co/PsAHkvhMAw launches with software:
· thunder - payments
· zside - privacy
· bitnames - identity
· bitassets - tokens
· truthcoin - prediction markets

All running on Signet today. Download BitWindow and try it: https://t.co/YNPUy0pWXE

On august 21 we ship all of it as a fork, not a fight. Your BTC stays untouched.

[ecash.com @ecashdotcom]

72 days to August 21 fork.
In 72 days, two new pieces are introduced.

BIP 300: Miners collectively validate deposits and withdrawals from sidechains over 3 months. No cryptographic overhead. Already quantum-proof.

BIP 301: Miners earn fees from all running sidechains at once. Existing hardware. New revenue stream.

Both activate at block ~964,000.

Breaking: @LayerTwoLabs + eCash .com have raised $5 million, to [1] further our mission of "Making every transaction a Bitcoin txn", and [2] launch a new BTC-fork this August.

We must rescue Bitcoin from its crisis of complacency and derangement.

Our ideas are cutting-edge -- so they are often misunderstood.

But actually -- they are quite popular (especially among OG Bitcoiners). You can look at: our podcast interviews, the Wednesday X spaces, the endorsements on the site -- real people love us. The only haters are bot farms -- and sheep who are easily misled.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin is going through an era of great ignorance and cowardice (see "Derangements" below).

That is why it is so important to fight back!

Someone launched an eCash memecoin on Solana a few weeks ago -- I've been watching it carefully.

Usually, memecoins are a distraction and end badly, since they have near-zero fundamental value.

However -- there's something useful here. A real community that can spread awareness about the upcoming eCash fork in August.

So -- here's what I'm committing to:

* All "creator" fees sent to us, will be treated as purchases of eCash, at $30 per coin.
* This will form a pool of real eCash (ECX).
* When the real eCash launches, you may swap one for the other. So: if you have 10% of the sol-token supply, you may swap that for 10% of the ECX pool.

Currently:

* Memecoin-trading has generated ~ $50,000 in "creator" fees.
* The pool now contains ~ 1,615 real ECX.

That way, the sol-token should appreciate in two ways:

1. If the expected ECX launch price increases.
2. If the expected sol-token trading fees (between June-August 2026) increase.

Currently:

* Memecoin-trading has already generated about $50,000 in "creator" fees.
* The pool already contains 1,615 real ECX.

Only the Top 15 holders of the eCash Solana memecoin will be eligible to claim. For smaller holders who can't crack the top 15 on their own, it should still add value to your coin, since the top 15 will want to redeem as large a % of coins as possible.

The contract address of the memecoin is: cTxqg4vt21u1Q2f9DSEig6S1fxmxLSsUV2v2wWspump

"Why fork instead of convincing Bitcoin?" Because we spent nine years trying. BIP300 was proposed in 2017. BIP301 in 2019. The proposals are sound, the code is written, and the discussion has gone in circles for the better part of a decade. At some point, you ship. @eCashcom is what shipping looks like. https://t.co/JHuHmz0jlf

Bitcoin won as digital gold and lost the app race- privacy, DeFi, identity all emigrated to other chains.
They didn't leave because Bitcoin was wrong. They left because Bitcoin couldn't host them.
https://t.co/PsAHkvheKY gives them a home on Bitcoin's security. That's the whole point.

[ecash.com @ecashdotcom]

eCash is a hardfork of Bitcoin, scheduled for August 2026.

It activates Drivechains (BIP300/301) and shrinks L1 blocksize 10x. Same PoW, same 21M cap. Every BTC holder gets eCash 1:1 on fork day.

This account explains the bet, the risks, and what happens if it works.
