Bitcoin (cash) is a publicly traded joint-stock syndicate central bank.

People keep trying to use its stock as a currency, with predictable results.
Stablecoins solve this.

[Flowee @FloweeTheHub]

It is hard to put Bitcoin Cash in a labeled box. Is it cash? Is it a product? Is it a platform? Is it a community?

When new people want to find out what it is they will inevitably want to put a label on BCH in order to help them understand the coin. And this label they will learn from online resources.

There are various problems that are easy to identify there:
We lost "whatisbitcoincash" due to the opposition reporting it, and nobody bothered to put up a copy.
We have a TON of sites all explaining things, most of them are not updated and you can see the state of our web presence by simply asking "who put up a banner that there was going to be an upgrade around half of may?".

But the really important part is how the community at large thinks about Bitcoin Cash. The forums, the discord and other places. What is being reported as news, what is being celebrated.

If you look critically you'll notice that 80% or so of the people that call themselves (any variation of) bcashers are actually not using the coin as money. The vast majority of talk is about any viral idea to drive traffic. New apps, some new website, another opcode proposal etc.

But how much is signalling that Bitcoin Cash is money to be used for payment of goods and services?

If you want to make people care about using Bitcoin Cash as money and payments, start by showing you can use Bitcoin Cash as money. To the world. Repeatedly.

The main downside of our current bias that it is not payment is that the basic answer to "success" is ANYTHING BUT payment. We see people getting very creative in coming up with new stuff. Stuff that is expensive for the wider community to handle, but to be honest I don't want yet another upgrade that is said to "solve all our problems", but mostly ignores the payment idea.
When you ask many in the community why not foucus on payments, they will literally tell you that we tried (we didn't) but nobody is using it! 🤯

So the first thing to make people care is to make yourself care. And be very loud to people that you care. Not some philosophical caring, but you care because the platform is awesome. 💪

@kzKallisti @FloweeTheHub one of the underrated benefits of ai is how much it facilitates (and thrives in) TDD.

[tula_s @txariv]

@freeAgent85 @kzKallisti What's wrong with @ParyonUSD ?

[tula_s @txariv]

@Nurain_Dev @vexl yes, if you find a willing party. Otherwise, it is easy to swap bch<>btc/stable before/after the trade.

[tula_s @txariv]

P2P crypto on/off ramps are a solved problem - @vexl.
No scammers, offers only from your social circles.
If you dont have any, go to a local crypto meetup and make a few friends.

@macrojack21 XO stack is pretty exciting @XO_bitcoincash

[tula_s @txariv]

@imkeshav @RaminNasibov one of a kind game. epic multiplayer.

[tula_s @txariv]

any serious project needs both:
- user input checks on the frontend layer
- data sanity checks on the DB layer

DS proofs, weak blocks, better wallets, better defi designs - frontend layer solutions, happy paths

1 min blocks - DB layer solution, failure paths

@Vladcostea @TheBCHPodcast @Lightswarm @cculianu @bitjson @dagur @GeukensMathieu @RoscoKalis @monsterbitar @EmergentReasons @FiendishCrypto @rnbrady @RyanMGiffin @bchbliss @RoscoKalis would surely have unique perspective and was never on @TheBCHPodcast .
Also ofc freetrader and bchautist, but you would need text to speech for that :)
And i would still love you do @bitjson, despite him being on bchpod a few times, you would do very different angle.

@mocadotapp Check out also this qr system https://t.co/djCI44FHtC

[tula_s @txariv]

@kzKallisti @Vladcostea @TheDesertLynx @GrapheneOS Simply scan a crypto qr, no account , no wait https://t.co/tQheci1WBB

[tula_s @txariv]

@TomasForgac @Vladcostea @Truthcoin BCH is still here, and in better state than ever ;)

[tula_s @txariv]

@monsterbitar @kzKallisti @bchbliss when we start competing in the big league (btc, eth, sol) were gonna need all of that.
Till then, having speakers/stands/sideevents at other confs (+bliss) is as high as we should aim.

[tula_s @txariv]

@TheBCHPodcast @kzKallisti @SeleneWallet yeah originally i tried to pitch this to wallet makers but none seemed excited. Then i realized i can make a separate app.

[tula_s @txariv]

@TheBCHPodcast @kzKallisti here is how we solve the fragmentation - we plug into each others networks https://t.co/tQheci1WBB

@kzKallisti @KennethBosak @00TATTS @SeleneWallet @cashstamps @stevethurmond I have that, doesn't work. Wants to do some additional verification

[tula_s @txariv]

@kzKallisti @KennethBosak @00TATTS @SeleneWallet @cashstamps @stevethurmond age restricted, i dont wanna do kyc

[tula_s @txariv]

@kzKallisti they are working hard on improvements (firedancer), but ETH gang is as well (state access lists). Both have massive resources compared to BCH. My guess is SOL whales will rotate out to AI first. Both have supposedly network bandwidth as a scaling bottleneck, not CPU clock.
