BCH

LovelyDayHere

Since those lost coins predate the Bitcoin fork of 2017, those keys control the same coins on both the BTC chain and the BCH chain. So, Bitcoin _and_ Bitcoin Cash. Which are obviously two separate blockchains by now and valued differently. In fact, there's a couple lesser known forks that those keys would also unlock, so it's more than only BTC+BCH, but those are the most valuable ones.

And these clowns think Blackrock will let Saylor vacuum up the BTC supply unchallenged 🤣 MSTZ/XMR/BCH baby

SeemedGood

BTC is not even seeking to be money (a P2PDC) anymore, and hasn’t been for 8-10 years. It has relegated itself to being nothing more than an instrument for raw (and hollow) speculation. BCH might become a money, but that will ultimately fail too as long as it maintains a cap.

roctac

Thankfully BCH exists

Aconyminomicon

Well a lot, but that is the wrong question to ask. The real question is, how much Bitcoin is left to mine while mining is still profitable? BTC mining companies have consolidated power over the last 8 years, and after the next halving, all of it will not be profitable due to electricity cost. Satoshi foresaw this and planned on adding fees to the user for each transaction as a way to reward the miners, since the mining rewards are exponentially deduced every four years (which is quick in crypto time). But Satoshi could not foresee the mining being done by simply a few companies (Bitcoin centralization). He thought it would be more independent, decentralized by people still mining. Bitcoin and Ethereum and others are not scalable, thus not finished. If the miners do not stick with Bitcoin, they could transition their rigs to any other PoW chain like BCH/LTC/XMR/etc, because then they would actually get paid for mining instead of losing money on Bitcoin or ramping up BTC transaction fee's which would make people flock to competition.

Good summary. Lightning network has done more harm than good. You would do far better to store your long term value in BTC if you must, then bridge over to an actual usable currency like BCH or KASPA for transacting.

Willing_Coach_8283

All Bitcoin forks are pumping real hard: BCH, BSC, BTG

Realistic_Fee_00001

BCH is hated because it lost the OG branding and everyone went with the crippled but branded fork. But if you are interested in solid tech and the og goal of sound money BCH is the underdog with the best potential. When you compare the tech BTC is a laughing stock compared to BCH.

Realistic_Fee_00001

>but as an investment asset, by design, forget it. BCH has EXACTLY the same SoV properties as BTC. The only difference is BCH is useful but BTC has the branding. I know on which one I'm betting long term.

SprittneyBeers

Thank you and everyone else! This is exactly why I posted because I figured I was fucking myself haha guess I’ll take my gains from BCH last night/today and put them in Ethereum.

BCH makes sense.

digital__bits

First of all Do Your Own Research (DYOR), secondly and IMHO I can't suggest you Solana and XRP, both are premined coins with a lot of cap controlled by central entities. They can manipulate the prices as they want. Both bitcoins are good BTC and BCH. These two are forks from the original Bitcoin before 2017 so they share the same origin and blocks. And about Arbitrum I don't really have any idea, what's that?

the_bueg

You seem to be confusing "blockchain" with "bitcoin". Some of what you said is true about Bitcoin - not blockchain technology. There are legitimate criticism of blockchain technology in general. But very different than the ones you listed for bitcoin. Algorand, for example, has it's pros and cons but none of the ones you listed. The copy/paste criticism is pretty rediculous though. Being open-source is one of cryptos greatest strengths, not a weakness. There are over 100 hard forks of Bitcoin alone. How many can you name? I can think of three - because I got coins in my wallet from their forks: BCH, BSV, and Bitcoin Gold, whatever the symbol is. All essentiall worthless now. There are thousands upon thousands of forks of various crypto projects. Few of which have gone very far, and almost none of which hurt those they "copy/pasted" from. Literally the only exception to that, is Ethereum. Depending on who you ask or how you define it, ETH is the copy/paste fork, and ETC is the original - and yet ETH went on to win. In fact ETH went on to fork again from PoW to PoS while ETC continued to not fork. To this day ETC maintains the entire original PoW tx history.

gigasawblade

It isn't without proof. The algorithm is known and it has limited supply. It can only be changed if all clients agree to it. We already have an example of change in algorithm - bitcoin splitting into BTC and BCH (bitcoin cash) because not everyone agreed. If there will be a change to increase supply, there is a high chance that original (limited supply) chain will continue together with a fork

DrSpeckles

None of these is bad. Add KAS. Ignore the BCH haters, that’s got a really good opportunity to increase a lot more than BTC. It won’t catch the dollar value but that’s not what you’re looking for, it’s percentage gain only.

derbyfan1

Go at least 100% BTC and the remainder in BCH.

aussiposters

Agree and went through a similar process, luckily sooner than you but I also believe hard forks of BTC have an exceptional future too LTC ZEC even BCH

panthera_N

i'm not good at picking altcoins, so just my opinion, not financial advice, BCH is dying slowly, Arbitrum is made to depreciate forever, Solana might only do well this cycle because the memecoin pie is being copied by other chains, memes are dying, and future scam laws might tighten up on them, and XRP is a tribe, maybe it can survive the next cycle.

Citizen_Kano

Why did he recommend BCH?

jamespayne0

If your looking for high risk that "might" return I would look at Dogecoin. Yes its a meme coin but its at least an OG meme coin and you could say its stood the test of time (2013). If any meme coin has the legs of making some money and not completely getting wiped out its Doge. On the more sensible approach add to your BTC bag and then I would probably say ETH. ETH might be a hard sell given the decline but I think from its current position it has a lot more upside potential than downside at this point in the market. Echoing what others have said, I wouldn't touch BCH or Arbitrum just get BTC or ETH. Solana and XRP are hard, Solana as a hedge against ETH seems reasonable but I cant see any justifications for XRP as there are more solid stablecoins that take away its use case.

inShambles3749

Genuine advice: - dump your buddy he seems like a degen crypto bro shilling what's currently hyped and be a BCH fanboy which is fine for transactional use but sucks as investment and also for trading imo. - stick with decentralized coins especially BTC for long term holding and longer duration swing trades. (BTC, ETH, ADA out of the top ten) They are decentralized with usecases. Doge is just memes but is fairly decentralized as well might be a good pick for day trading. - if you want higher volatility and even more risk go out of the top 10 Aside from that you're a trader so I assume you know how to do your research on the coins you are looking at.

conceiv3d-in-lib3rty

Lmao @ Arbitrum and BCH. You poor bastard, being led to the slaughter while being whispered sweet nothings about which of your buddy’s bags you should buy lmao.

dos_passenger58

I think instead of BCH, you're thinking of BSV

Objective_Digit

It didn't "split". That suggests they were always one thing. bcash was an offshoot. You wouldn't claim a new river distributary always existed because the "mother" river was always there. >BCH went with what Satoshi intended Says who?

roctac

You don't understand the concept of a fork. There was Bitcoin before 2017, then it split into BCH and bcore. BCH went with what Satoshi intended and bcore went the side chain route that doesn't work. Both chains have Satoshi's genesis block.

Objective_Digit

> Therefore Satoshi is a BCH supporter. bcash didn't exist prior to 2017.

Tacos_picosos

This argument makes no sense. We already have BCH. Anyone can use it if they want. If BCH was going to be the preferred chain, it would already have happened. Quite the contrary, BCH gets less interest/user activity than other shit coins like Solana and ETH.

roctac

Gavin is a BCH supporter and big blocker. Therefore Satoshi is a BCH supporter.

nameless_pattern

I can't be bothered to sort out everything wrong with what you said so this is Google AIs' response to "what crypto is inflationary and pow": "Several Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies are considered inflationary, meaning they have a mechanism that introduces new tokens into circulation over time. While Bitcoin has a limited supply cap, it is still inflationary as long as new blocks are mined and rewards are distributed. Other notable PoW coins with inflationary properties include Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC). " I'll add that 450 Bitcoin are made each day currently. It's value is from people buying it.

You can do that now with BCH. It's like buying Bitcoin back in 2013. So many people fail to realize this. BCH has Satoshi genesis block and largely follows what Satoshi envisions for the project. Lightening network does work and was never intended to work.

Mindless_Ad_9792

i mean, im going to be honest, the rich saylorites already found their home in BTC. while the humble dorseyites would probably find their home in BCH. i don't know why jack dorsey didn't move to the other chain if he wanted to use BTC for commerce and micropayments

SeemedGood

The point is that in a free market of money (ie individuals can settle debts using whatever intermediate good they mutually agree upon), it doesn’t matter if a cartel produces one intermediate good because the competition removes their ability to abuse it (see BTC forking into BCH).

RamoneBolivarSanchez

Yes there is a problem lol, Bitcoin isn’t fast enough to be used purely as p2p cash so fees alone won’t sustain the tvl and incentivize people to mine (0 block rewards). It doesn’t matter if it’s cheaper than gold, people won’t use it if transactions take days to settle and fees rocket because you cannot scale blocksize (aka blocksize wars and BCH forking). Want to tell me how this will be addressed? 😊 This is an active problem that people have been grappling with for over 8 years and still are trying to address.

Mindless_Ad_9792

i'm generally bullish on payment coins like LTC, BCH, XNO, XMR, and DASH because theyre the only ones that have organic supply and demand, so thats sum reverse fud for you

Bred_Slippy

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a different crypto currency (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin Cash) . It's warning to not send that to your Bitcoin (BTC) address. You're sending Bitcoin, not Bitcoin Cash, so you're fine. 

crunchyeyeball

It's a Bitcoin (BTC) address. The message is saying you should only send Bitcoin (BTC) to the address. You should *not* send anything else to the address, such as Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin SV (BSV), ETH, ADA, gold bullion, sandwiches, bovine waste, etc.

Centrilised L2s is the exact opposite of what Bitcoin was designed for. If I want to use centralised and censored money - I'll use fiat, if I want to use decentralised and independent money - I'll use BCH. BTC is purely speculative asset with zero use cases and it'll disappear because of this

I’m still doing my 4 trillion hours of research into Bitcoin to fully understand it. I’m currently reading about ancient Sumerian debt ledgers and how that relates to BTC but not BCH or XMR. I’m learning tons!

Mordan

you sound like those suckers who sold their BTC to buy BCH

Past_Hotel_5987

You are right. The block size debate marked a turning point for Bitcoin. The split between BTC and BCH was the result of a fundamental divergence on the future of Bitcoin. BTC has evolved into a store of value, and BCH has kept the idea of Bitcoin as a functional currency. A division of visions, in short. Frankly, I admit that I have never been in depth. Thank you for your comment, you pushed me to learn more 🙌👌

Past_Hotel_5987

The vision of Bitcoin as a usable currency could have been maintained if the block size debate had led to an increase in transaction capacity rather than the separation of BTC and BCH. But this was an inevitable development given the stakes.

MVazovski

Yes. Bitcoin has never been a get rich path from anywhere. It was merely a digital currency used by people on the dark web and the moment it hit mainstream, it started to pick up momentum. The Bitcoin you and me know is a form of savings for most people (especially since the fork with BCH, evne though people still can use BTC as a form of money with the lightning network). The only issue is that it's much, much more volatile than anything that came before it. The stock market, funds, gold, silver... you name it. Eventually, it reaches another ATH nobody thought about before. People are talking about 1 BTC being worth as much as 120k, 250k or even 1M USD in the future. I believe it will be much more, but the path there will be filled with crashes, fear (volatility plays a role here) and uncertainty, not smooth sailing.

jewpanda

If you sell it is. Wait until is back up. It's not a matter of "if" but "when" As soon as you can break even on a coin sell it and take the loss on fees. My opinion on the only projects worth looking at: BTC - Obvious reasons, but an already highly speculative asset has an even more uncertain future now because of the last few months, so with all high risk investments continue to tread carefully. BCH - Most closely resembles the original BTC white paper, and I expect it to receive widespread adoption in the next decade. BTC continuing it's path as a more liquid investment or retirement account vehicle, and BCH becoming everyday spend. IOTA - The only truly unique (mostly) decentralized ledger. Using tertiary instead of binary, and a "tangle" instead of blocks, I believe this is the most future proof and adoption of quantum computing will only push this. Looking to become "Internet of Things" m2m standard and no fees. SCRT/XMR - Computational privacy (SCRT) and transactional privacy (XMR). For private communication, private lending markets/De-Fi, NFTs for identity or proprietary solutions, etc., Secret focuses on different usecases and builds the fundamentals of decentralised web3 where users have privacy guarantees. Monero has the most robust private transaction network to date. Both should be held in my opinion strictly for the privacy component alone. Hold. Trade swings. It takes time. I've been in the game since 2017 and still grinding. Unless you start investing with 50k or something, and *only* make profitable trades it's not going to happen within a decade. BTC held open the door for financial independence from trad-fi and their intermediaries. The responsibility of research, understanding economics and finance, and championing sound reasoning within crypto is on us so that we can make informed decisions that improve our quality of life, not dump our life savings into SHIB or DOGE hoping to hit a jackpot and getting rekt. HODL an godspeed.

waitareyou4real

*blocks in some group mining BCH and solo blocks of raven. Never was apart of their Team Gold that has mined two blocks this year

Willing_Coach_8283

That coin already exists - BCH

Realistic_Fee_00001

Maybe, there are a few things bCash does better. It scales better because tx are smaller and data compression is possible. It has good privacy anyway, just not by default (with cash token and VELMA it will be possible to build monero level privacy) It has smart transaction to support the full spectrum of money use cases. All this will lead to a bigger privacy set in the end because more people will use it. Easier to audit and prevent inflation or other bugs. It's OG Bitcoin. Not dunking on Monero, I'm, glad for every p2p cash project that exist in this sea of gambling tokens. And the competition is welcomed. Just my reasoning why I support mainly BCH.

TotalBismuth

Why would I want to pay with BTC which is always going up? BTC is not meant for daily transactions. That was its initial purpose and became BCH.

DangerHighVoltage111

🤡 If the only way to prevent your cognitive dissonance is to believe I'm lying let me make it a bit harder for you. I bought some BCH at the initial 600-800 range then not much until all the bad actors where expelled. At that point BCH was at ~100 where I bought most of my stack bringing down my average between 100 and 200 (I won't give a troll exact numbers) I now buy whenever I feel like it and to replace what I spend. Now, please let your brain explode.

DangerHighVoltage111

You think doing 300% gains is getting wrecked? Maybe you made more with BTC, but you sound more like a top buyer. Anyway you could have even made more with Doge than with BTC. So I made gains and supported p2p cash with BCH. I'm fine, get of your high horse. Anyway, this is pointless as with most BTC zealots it is always about FIAT price, so good luck with BTC and don't let your UTXOs become dust.

BrotherDawnDayDusk

Yes, because you skirted around a few weak ass of what you consider to be "attempts", that definitely means you are immune to all the money and power in the world, forever and ever. That's how this works! Wrap it up! You have got to be kidding me here, right? You can't make make this level of suckered delusion up.  As for you so-called use case, BCH speaks loudly for itself to show us all that, after all these years, p2p cash still isn't taking off - sorry! No one actually believes this shit, right?

DangerHighVoltage111

That is unfortunately correct. This has always been the hardest problem of Bitcoin. People actually starting to use p2p cash. However BCH is ready to scale and gain back the adoption BTC destroyed in 2017. Join and help :)

Realistic_Fee_00001

>BCH could be "coopted" in a heartbeat Is this all you got as defense? BCH so far has a track record of 3 attempts thwarted zero succeeded. The goal is still steadfast freedom to transact for everyone. The first attempt costed us dearly, though, but at least a Bitcoin fork remained able to scale. That is worth more than all your unrealized gains. >Truth is, it has no magic anti-"coopting" software built-in. It's the same as your "built-in" SoV software :P. But seriously, BCH took the lesson to heart and has developed some very impressive development procedures, something that was missing before the hijacking. Take a look at the CHIP process and how it decentralizes development. >Your only saving grace may be that no one actually cares about BCH. And that is the reason why guys like you follow us bCashers around, right? Because nobody cares about p2p cash.

BrotherDawnDayDusk

BCH could easily be "coopted" in a heartbeat. Perhaps it already is, and you just don't know. Your only saving grace may be that no one cares about BCH.

Oh no the price argument. I have never thought about this and will immediately sell my BCH. It might be hard for you to imagine, but some people care more for freedom than for gains and won't be bribed by a hijacked coin.

ComprehensiveCrab50

Use BCH. Or HBAR, XLM, BSV, NANO. If you're gonna use a potentially coopted currency anyways, at least use one with upside potential and fees low enough to actually be usable as currency

DangerHighVoltage111

But BCH is not a failure. It is exactly what you are asking for. A network that will rely on millions of small transactions for security payments instead of very few very big ones.

Realistic_Fee_00001

So price it is again. And again you are wrong. For every 1$ I invested I got ~2,50$ back. As if everyone bought at ATH. BCH has been doing better after the maxi sellout. Could I have made more FIAT money? Sure, with DOGE but would I have had supported p2p cash? No. That's why I invest and support BitcoinCash projects.

Realistic_Fee_00001

I've seen little slander from the BCH crowd since they can't afford it (There are always exceptions) They usually criticize BTC failed design to scale with facts and their sole focus on NgU instead of p2p cash. On the other hand bCasher are used to baseless slander (scam) or dunks on its price. But it is getting better in the last years. Reddit is just a little behind. For example some BTC devs even took note from BCH development for their OP codes.

This isn't true in real life. Owning a lot of bitcoin actually gives tremendous control over the network, using soft power/coercion. You could in theory demand changes and threaten to dump all your coins if you don't get your way. Since 90% of people in bitcoin do so mainly for financial profit, you then have enormous leverage over them. You think all the mining companies, exchanges, companies sponsoring Bitcoin Core devs, etc, would all willingly sacrifice themselves and go bankrupt just to preserve the integrity of the chain? Because that's what would need to happen, if push comes to shove. No, I think they would yield and implement whatever changes to the protocol that the whale wants, and the rest of the "genuine" users would just have either deal with it, or fork the chain into another failure like BCH.

That's why Bitcoiners had to fork 🤷‍♂️ But you all gonna hating BCH again.

YaBastaaa

I think BCH is going to the bitcoin for the people.

That’s not how it works. Controlling 51% of mining power doesn’t mean you can "control the network" in the way you're implying. It allows for temporary double-spends and censorship, but it doesn't let you rewrite history or take others' coins. Plus, coordinating multiple major miners (who are financially incentivized to not destroy trust in the network) is easier said than done. As for forking again to “keep mining profitable,” forks dilute community and developer support, rarely gain traction, and usually result in long-term losses. BCH and other forks have nowhere near the security, adoption, or liquidity of BTC. Looking at short-term gains without understanding network effects, hash rate, or long-term viability is how you end up holding bags of irrelevant forks.

If you own >51% of the mining/transactions (or get a few companies to band together to gain 51%), then yes, you can control the network. Also, what is to stop a 4th fork of Bitcoin to keep mining profitable? Even now, the BCH network (a bitcoin fork), is looking better than actual BTC as far as gains to be made.

You don't understand Bitcoin if you think that's true. The system is not a democracy or a majority rules system. The value of Bitcoin comes from the fact it's social layer refuses to change the network. If a cabal of token holders decides to hard fork the network, that network would not be as valuable as Bitcoin because the value of the network comes from the immutability of the rules. A mutable network is inherently less valuable. This is why all hard forks of Bitcoin (Litecoin, dogecoin, BCH, BSC, Bitcoin gold, etc, etc) all are on an asymptotic path to zero relative to Bitcoin. The US government, MSTR and Blackrock could decide to fork Bitcoin tomorrow. Now you have a Bitcoin America fork and the OG Bitcoin. OG Bitcoin would without a doubt in my mind, be the only valuable network given enough time, for the same reasons all other forks of Bitcoin have failed.

tldr; The Bitcoin Cash Weekly News highlights recent developments in the BCH ecosystem. Key updates include Sayoshi Nakamario's projects FundMe.cash and Badgers.cash, Mathieu Geukens' Cashonize v0.3.4 wallet update, Paytaca's v0.22.2 browser wallet upgrade, free BCH stickers from Steve Thurmond, and CashScript's debugging improvements. Additionally, BCHN v28.0.1 is ready for the May 15, 2025 network upgrade, featuring protocol changes like CHIP-2021–05 VM Limits and CHIP-2024–07 BigInt. Node operators must update before May 15th. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Probably ETH, BCH or Litecoin and Pepe. First two don't need any introductions but the last one solely for the shits and giggles because of 420.69 trillion coins in total, I wouldn't expect to make that money back but also always hold something like 420.69k or 420.69M of that coin to show my friends and family to have a good laugh about it.

BCH.

Are you sure you didn't send Bitcoin (BTC) to a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet by accident?

These are the most successful Alts that were big marketcaps in 2017/18. It's a stark reminder that Alts don't appreciate after they have reached a large marketcap. They just pump and dump. - ETH 25% above January 2018 price - XRP -11% below December 2017 price - ADA -10% below December 2017 price - XLM -28% below December 2017 price - LTC -65% below December 2017 price - BCH -88% below December 2017 price

BTC does nothing else of use apart from actually existing, it has no functionality - it's for boomers like Saylormoon who don't understand the tech of newer blockchains.... BCH is far superior, more in line with Satoshi's white paper - at least a means of transaction.

Motor-Ocelot-9345

Those other copies and forks you're talking about aren't Bitcoin (BTC). Just like BSV is not BTC BCH is not BTC Nodes run on consensus - if it's not BTC it's not on.

JuanBitcoin

They call it BCH, and no one uses it (except me lol)

I’m afraid to have to say, It’s not even close to a top 10 market cap. It’s old tech. If people were really going to leave the Bitcoin network en masse, it would be for a much more modern technologically advanced blockchain. And for the record, the fork wars are over and Bitcoin won. It’s sitting at a $1.7 trillion market cap, while BCH and the other forks haven’t even passed their 2017 all-time highs.
