After reading Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver, I have been really interested in Bitcoin Cash, mostly because BCH is the continuation of the original Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System as defined by Satoshi's white paper.
At the Bitcoin conference I met the team from @SeleneWallet who designed their wallet to pass the "mom test."
They onboarded me in literally 5 min, and that was just the time it took to download the wallet from the App Store!
I’m looking forward to trying out my Selene Wallet out in the wild!
El día que BCH tenga buena interfaz, y sea más estratégico y empresarial con el marketing, se acomoda bien posicionado como instrumento financiero en el panorama global. Hay que marketinizar un ecosistema muy nerd.

JUST IN: 🇸🇻 The first citizen of the “Bitcoin City” in El Salvador has left after waiting 2 years for it to be built.
Corbin Keegan who left Chicago in the U.S. to come to El Salvador to be the first resident of the Bitcoin City, says he waited over two years for the city to be built.
President Nayib Bukele first announced the Bitcoin City in 2021. He also explained that the city would be constructed using funds from the Salvadoran volcano bonds, which have not yet been issued.
After waiting and waiting, Keegan decided he had enough, and has now left El Salvador to come back to the U.S., giving up on the idea of the Bitcoin City for the time being.
Hay que decirlo loko, todos nos quejamos de la falta de libertad económica y de cómo eso nos trae dificultades financieras, pero quienes más nos hacemos mierda la economía somos nosotros mismos con malos hábitos, miedo a encarar proyectos lucrativos, persistir y crecer.
I used to believe that Bitcoin could free us from government coercion, since government’s power comes primarily from their ability to control the money supply. (By having decentralized currency that they can’t control, we could opt out of their wars, inflation, etc)
Today I understand that Bitcoin was a promise that has since been corrupted either on purpose, or by sheer greed.
Bitcoin started off as peer to peer digital cash, and today it’s more akin to digital gold. Still useful, but it’s just not going to be used for every day transactions.
Of course, I can’t help but believe that because of the threat Bitcoin posed for the government, the government had big incentives to infiltrate it and made it less threatening. And just like everything else they do, they started wars among Bitcoiners to splinter the community and drive them to “war”. (The Bitcoin block size war, for example)
We can’t have nice things because the incentive for the government (that has unlimited resources) is always going to be to protect themselves, and there will always be bad actors who are for sale.
Satoshi had a vision for world peace, but the government destroyed it to keep control and keep us at war.
My 2 cents, but I could be wrong.
BCH y BTC son representaciones de aspiraciones vinculadas a la responsabilidad individual. Los usuarios de BCH ponen sus fichas en los usuarios, osea en ellos mismos. Los de BTC ponen sus fichas en instituciones, ETFs y gobiernos sin los cuales el precio no sube, osea en otro.
This demo is insane.
A student shares their iPad screen with the new ChatGPT + GPT-4o, and the AI speaks with them and helps them learn in *realtime*.
Imagine giving this to every student in the world.
The future is so, so bright.
