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.

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)

aTurnedOnCow

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.

DangerHighVoltage111

You think a hallucinating neural network is truth? Here is what happened. The problem only ever occurred because BTCs Segwit hack. Segwit addresses are native "anyone can spend" addresses. So when people send BCH to segwit addresses anyone could spend them. An attacker tried to steal these coins and good miners came together to return those coins to the original addresses/owners. Again the same happened to BTC before the fork. Good miners came together to stop an attacker.

DangerHighVoltage111

*sigh* Ver is not a found or even in any way connected to BCH development. He is just a supporter of p2p cash which BCH is and BTC is not anymore. Have you looked at BCH lately? All the OP codes BTC is fighting over already implemented, and more efficiently cause hard forks do that. Privacy tech rivaling monero, smart transactions enabling DeFi. And most important it scales and has tech in the pipeline that scales even for large numbers of tx without compromising anything. A lot of people a stuck on 2017 BCH.

DangerHighVoltage111

All better p2p cash than BTC. Tech wise I'd say BCH >>>>>>>>>>LTC>>>>Dodge Scaling wise BCH>>>>>>>>>>>LTC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dodge (large gaps between them) Sentiment however seems to favor dodge (mostly because of musk) then LTC and BCH has all the maxi slander against it.

If Satoshi ever comes back to life he should burn his BTC wallet and cash out his BCH wallet then sign it something like, “no assholes, I did intend a store of value”.

LTC is A tier crypto, Doge is S, BCH is C.

uniqueusernme987

Litecoin’s old and fast, but who really uses it? BCH tryna be a cheaper BTC, but barely anyone cares. Doge? Just a meme running on hype

Except Doge, I hodl the other two. BCH, in fact I am getting for writing articles on read.cash. Litecoin started from a faucet, but now I own a bunch.

BCH was a chain fork, inheriting the baggage of Bitcoin's blockchain from 2009 to 2017, as a kind of airdrop, a dishonest launch BCH blocks rarely have more than 100 transactions, so the 32MB "scalability feature" is pointless BCH fees are cheap because blocks are never full, not by design LTC was a fair launch, not a chain fork LTC inherits all Bitcoin improvements by rebasing from each new Bitcoin release LTC recently has become slower and slower to implement new Bitcoin versions, possibly due to some issues in maintaining a reliable developer group LTC's Scrypt mining hash was chosen to be ASIC-proof. Bitmain developed a Scrypt ASIC. Now it's mined only using ASICs LTC's shorter block interval is a security risk if LTC ever achieves Bitcoin levels of usage LTC fees are cheap because LTC's price is very low, not by design DOGE was a fair launch, not a chain fork DOGE was software-forked from LTC in 2013, and has not had any protocol updates DOGE's original developers retired and were replaced. The second developer group also quit, and was replaced by new volunteers DOGE's shorter block interval is a security risk if DOGE ever achieves Bitcoin levels of usage DOGE has a higher market cap than LTC, proving that having limited supply or unlimited supply is not relevant to price > decentralized Are they really? Rumors claim that the BCH node network is less than a dozen node operators running a few hundred puppet nodes on AWS. LTC seems to have only a few hundred nodes. DOGE doesn't care if it's decentralized. The Dogecoin subreddit explicitly advises users that there's no reason to add more nodes to the network

dataCollector42069

Each of which are far better crypto currencies than BTC. Try transacting using BTC vs LTC and BCH. Even then, PoW is going to collapse soon enough with hash rates exponentially increasing while block rewards decreasing

Fit-Mathematician-98

What dude? BTC was totally created to keep the person completely anonymous. It was all about privacy. That's why you get an extensive address/code. Why do you think it was originally used on SilkRoad as payment, and it was meant as a P2P, cutting out banks and middlemen. Why do you think a lot of people believe BCH is the real BTC because when it forked, BCH kept the original code and functionality. So, yes, XMR is the closest thing to what Bitcoin was originally created. The more you know! 

Realistic_Fee_00001

>Chill out bro. You are not more intelligent than the millions of BTC holders out there. A plea to majority, yet everyone knows the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.... Especially if it is all just hype with no utility and all the hope lies in a future use case. >BCH is worth like 1% of BTC for a reason. Yep, and you think this has anything to do with utility instead of branding? In this market in this time? >I can run a BTC node on my $100 computer 24/7, like thousands of other people around the world. Ive never met anyone running their own BCH node, because its pointless I know plenty of people who do. I did once and might again in the future. But I know plenty of BTC guys who never read the whitepaper and think their non-PoW, read-only node is saving the world. 🤷‍♂️

Lonsmrdr

Add BCH ! Useable bitcoin at 300 dollars

DangerHighVoltage111

Maybe, but don't forget there is a big fiat system that since 2017 got extra support from BTC maxis set against p2p cash and it is not just BCH that is feeling it.

DangerHighVoltage111

>Satoshi himself has written that bitcoin can't enable all transactions on-chain if everyone used it I would like a source for this bold claim and I over you this quote as trade: > I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume. >Btc can't do it and neithee can bch. Scaling must be done in layers Yes, false, false. No network scales in layers, the least the famously quoted internet. On the internet every message goes through the base layer as with most other networks. BCH has had no problems doing 3200% the throughput of BTC and there are ideas how to reduce bottlenecks like network usage by 90%. BTC gave up before they even tried and most perplexing, everyone is cool with it. >Bitcoin does it in a way that it preservs decentralization while still enabling self-custody of owning and transacting coins False. BTC is neither very decentralized nor does it enable self-custody for the masses. If you take a look at the facts than LN for example is 95% used custodial because it sucks self-custodial. >However BCH while not maybe centralized yet as nobody uses it, would become centralized when nodes could no longer be maintained by ordinary users. Once your realize the whitepaper does not mention non-PoW/validating/full-nodes you realize that they have no impact on the network. Core sold you a feel good fairytale and you sacrificed Bitcoin for it. And even worse, BCH will be run by users even in a future with high throughput, because again there are technologies that enable that. Pruning and UTXO commitments just to name a few. Again another field BTC just faltered before putting even the tiniest effort into it. >Ordinary node operators by the way saved bitcoin from corporate takeover (segwit2x) in 2017. They chose to run version of uasf-node that prevented it. Even if most vocal core-devs were against it. In btc users have control. Again part of the feel good fairytale. For starters the famous UASF never reached more than 16% approval rate. I can only again recommend to read the whitepaper and making an effort to understand it. If non-PoW nodes have any say about the network it could be attacked for WAY less then the cost of a 51% attack. Non-Pow nodes can be fired up in the millions for peanuts. You can mirror them behind different IPs etc. >Read blocksize wars if you want neutral view of what happened. I lived those days and when I read the book, it alingned perfectly with what I had experienced. Yes I have read it and I have seen the extreme and broad censorship during those days. If I can recommend a book to you, read the view from the other side, read Hijacking Bitcoin.

Shoddy_Trifle_9251

I think it's a lost cause and Bitcoin needs to go the way of VHS. Unfortunately, it's a giant PONZI scheme and someone will want to continue to perpetuate that scheme. The money power will likely dictate what happens. Burning the coins could make Bitcoin even more scarce while violating the very principals blockchain was built on. It's not going to be Bitcoin anymore imo...just another fork like BCH or Ravencoin. Either the money power will transition to a Quantum Resistant chain, or it will continue with the Bitcoin charade.

Imaginary_Total_8417

BCH … like it or not, but it’s no scam

S_Lowry

Satoshi himself has written that bitcoin can't enable all transactions on-chain if everyone used it. Btc can't do it and neithee can bch. Scaling must be done in layers. Bitcoin does it in a way that it preservs decentralization while still enabling self-custody of owning and transacting coins. It is not perfect as p2p cash, but it works as such. However BCH while not maybe centralized yet as nobody uses it, would become centralized when nodes could no longer be maintained by ordinary users. How does LN require custodians/trust? I've been running an LN-node since 2018 and I don't rely on any custodians. Ordinary node operators by the way saved bitcoin from corporate takeover (segwit2x) in 2017. They chose to run version of uasf-node that prevented it. Even if most vocal core-devs were against it. In btc users have control. They choose what code to run. Read blocksize wars if you want neutral view of ehat happened. I lived those days and when I read the book, it alingned perfectly with what I had experienced.

DangerHighVoltage111

BCH is cooking and no one pays attention 😬😎

DangerHighVoltage111

This is false. BTC doesn't have inexpensive, reliable and fast transaction. It sucks as p2p cash, which is the foundation for all its features. It's L2s require custodians/trust giving no power or control to the user. as Bitcoin should and BCH does. It's gains are still a bit bigger, but rallies have been lacking lately and BCH has much more up potential. Branding is really the only thing BTC has going for it. Everyone thinks BTC is Bitcoin: a p2p cash system, when it changed into something totally different and BCH continued it.

uduni

I know its hard for a non-technical person to understand. Marketing budgets from centralized projects like BCH lead to propaganda and confusion. Fighting over github repo names is 100% a sign of centralization. Github commit access is a row in Github’s central sql db. Thousands of github employees could change it at will. BTC core’s repo commit access confers no power, unlike in BCH

>U are ignoring the basic facts. Miners wanted big blocks. Plebs wanted small blocks. Plebs won. No I'm not ignoring it. It simply is not evidence.

>The evidence is in the history of the chain. BCH has had a central team in control since the beginning. Dude are you adam backs backup account? BCH has had multiple node implementations almost from the fork. They kicked multiple wanna be dictators asses and stayed without a central figure. They even replaced the de facto majority repository once when their boss went kuku. BTC on the other hand has single repository since blockstream took over and financed most of the core devs. They were so powerful that they managed to threaten miners to only run their node. > BTC had a clear event where miners and corporate powers tried to pass something through and couldn't. There is no other example like that on any other chain. Again, that is the fairytale, or you better call it propaganda, that was told in the censored Bitcoin spaces.

>Isn't your sides' mantra that the nodes run the network and the miners? Such a binary state of mind, they contribute to the network in some ways and knowing their intent does inform IN PART the decisions miners. It's so annoying that with big blockers like you, all the nucances of consensus bulding disappears... it's as if you wanted that only miners should decide of the rules. I wonder why... kind of a mask-off if you ask me. >Ultimately why the experiment would fail without BCH hanging in the background. That's some deluded shit, brother. Bcash is laughably irrelevant and borderline useless. There are cheaper and faster alternatives and rest on the security provided by Bitcoin. I have no interest to debate them with you, if you don't understand the basics of Bitcoin, no point arguing over it's higher layers. >Do I need to substantiate with paragraphs of explanation? No, a simple substantiation by examples of how Bitcoin Core prevents ideas with a majority of consensus to be implemented... big blocks are certainly not one (go check how little hashrate or usees any of these forks have), but I'm sure you will give actual examples... any minute now. And you can stop the grandstanding about benevolence, the best for humanity, and other sub-text references about the CIA... I know all these talking points, I was there for the block wars and way before this, these cheap tactics never worked.

The evidence is in the history of the chain. BCH has had a central team in control since the beginning. BTC had a clear event where miners and corporate powers tried to pass something through and couldnt. There is no other example like that on any other chain.

>Sry dont have time to respond to all your dumb points I'm sure you are a busy guy... >Miners dont hold the power in BTC. Miners hold all the power in BCH.

This is the biggest evidence that you do not know what you are talking about.

Bagmasterflash

> Spinning up nodes doesn't change much besides signaling something about users to miners (eg.for an UASF)... but it is only one minor part of what miners consider when they choose a node implementation. Isn't your sides' mantra that the nodes run the network and the miners? Additionally by implementing small blocks and trivial nodes the miners have two factors to incentivize them to mine Core. Hence the reason BTC is dominant. Not because its the protocol that is best for humanity but because it carries the most incentive to be mined. Ultimately why the experiment would fail without BCH hanging in the background. >substantiate this control in any meaningful way and since this situation can change very easily/cheaply if node operators don't update or move to another node implementation (of which there are many used in production) Do I need to substantiate with paragraphs of explanation? Its not hard to look up the node implementation. Are you claiming that because of the commit protocols currently in place that Core is benevolent in the whole process? That is childishly naive. And the CIA is just for finding tax evaders. Its not hard to understand with small blocksizes Core can maintain the illusion of benevolence on both node implementation as well as sway over the miners. Bitcoin faces serious incentive issues given the artifical fee market. Miners are incentivized to mine the small blocks because it bids up tx fees. Its a sad fate for such a beautiful thing Satoshi created.

Everything u said is wrong. Again, you arejt smarter than the millions of investors in the world who see BTC for what it is. The Bitcoin core repo os not controlled by a few devs. Its a large open source project with thousands of reviewers. Every PR is carefully combed through. If one of the guys with commit access tried to push something malicious, he would just be kicked off. BCH or DOGE are controlled by a small team though. Thats the truth. Learn about how software dev works before spouting bullshit. Non-PoW nodes control the network. We saw it firsthand in the blocksize wars. Miners wanted bigger blocks. Regular node operators wanted small blocks. Regular node operators won. End of story. This is the opposite of how ETH, SOL, BCH, etc work. They have teams that can push whatever code they want. Im not making shit up here, im a dev who makes 350k and know wtf im talking about. Who are u, some random troll who lost money on crypto because u didnt buy btc and are now salty

Which PoW Blockchain is better than BCH?

DangerHighVoltage111

>You do you, i stick with original, not a ripoff. That is exactly what he is saying. You have no argument, because it is all just marketing. If I gave both chains a new name and let you evaluate them nobody would choose BTC as the better or "original" coin. BCH is as "original" as BTC whatever that means, both chains started in 2009. BCH is p2p cash system. BTC is digital gold a SoV... if you believe them.

BTC is slow, inefficient, and expensive compared to many better stores of value. Monero is great, as long as regulators don't ban it from exchanges we're good!

BCH is better than BTC, but nano XNO is the ultimate payment currency. It's not even really up for debate at this point. You cannot get any faster than 0.4 seconds and you cannot get any cheaper than free.

Nobody owns BCH, or Monero, or Doge, or Litecoin. It’s not like Bitcoin is something that can’t be replicated. The only difference between bitcoin and those other coins is that they have less hype, less marketing, and less money coming from the elites you claim it isn’t controlled by. You’re delusional for real man. Grow up.

OP really trying to dig BCH up from the grave. If the idea is it competes with BTC as money, it loses like everything else. If you eschew that and say it’s for transactions, it loses to L2 lightning. The market price is literally telling you it has no value. It ain’t “proving” shit. Monero is fine. I’ve got anti-government libertarian friends. There will always be a lil niche for it to fill.

uduni

BCH is a distraction and thus an attack on Bitcoin. Get real. Every dollar put into BTC is resistance against the corrupt elite controlling the money supply. Every dollar put into BCH is a waste of a dollar

Roland_91_

As an example. You own Bitcoin, and when you die you want that Bitcoin to be automatically transferred to your sister.  Bitcoin cannot do that. You need to store the keys with a lawyer who then passes them on in the event of your death. BTC requires the system to function because yes it is hard money, but it is "only" hard money. It doesn't do anything else.  A smart contract means you can program your money, and set up a time locked  transfer, or automatically pay out loans, or prove ownership of things, track things, and perform actions when certain criteria are met like paying it the winner in a poker game without having a centralised casino as the third party(this still cannot be done by any chain). I hold NFTs that are tied to African housing and mortgages which pay me every month. You can't do that on Bitcoin because there is no way to do it. Bitcoin was the first hard money, but litecoin is equally as hard, as are the dozen or so variations like BCH BSV, BCG, BCD...and so on. Cardano is fixed cap and provably as secure as Bitcoin. Just through a different mechanism. A window and a door are the same but different. 

ThatBCHGuy

Ah, the classic 'BCH = Roger Ver' strawman. BCH was created by developers and miners who wanted to preserve Bitcoin's original vision. But I get it, you need to reduce everything to one person because you have no real argument against the actual tech. Keep coping.

ThreeTonChonker

How much is BCH going for these days? Or does it depend on whether Roger Ver is in prison yet?

ThatBCHGuy

Ah yes, the classic 'BCH is a failure' argument, which conveniently ignores that BCH still functions exactly as intended, while BTC can’t even handle on-chain transactions without second-layer band-aids. You call it failure, I call it working as designed.

ThreeTonChonker

True we should discuss all crypto here. Like how much of a failure BCH and Roger Ver are.

ThreeTonChonker

If you check post histories for the people posting in this thread it’s mostly Cardano, BCH, PolkaDot, and XRP. You could almost inverse it and short those shitcoins since they’re clearly worried.

BTC is like lottery. Buy only if you want to gamble like others. A true bitcoin enthusiast would invest in BCH instead of BTC since BTC has many technological limitations. BTC price is purely driven based on speculation.

Yes, I was thinking same thing too! I was expecting to read a 12 word phrase somewhere in his story, trying to lead people to a honeypot scam. I was heavy into crypto in 2016 and 2017, I did the whole ICO thing in 2017 using Ethereum, and I was transferring around about 6 BTC here and there trying to make 6 figures. If I had just left it alone and waited a few years, it would have been life changing today. I always wish I could find an old wallet with BTC in it that I forgot about. The only thing that came close was I had an account on freebtc.me, which is also a free bitcoin faucet, and I recently went back to it just last year, the password was saved on my browser and there were two links in my account that I didn't notice for many weeks that said "Redeem Bitcoin Cash" and "Redeem Bitcoin Gold". At first, I thought they were links to transfer those types of bitcoin into my account to bet on sports or the other games. Turns out they were from when Bitcoin forked in 2017 into BCH and BTG. The Bitcoin I had in my account was eligible for the forked coins, and the site actually gave them to everyone that had a bitcoin balance. I was shocked! I only wish it was more lol. I probably transferred out most of my balance before I stopped using the site for a bunch of years. It was still a happy find though! A few hundred bucks is always welcome.

You should figure out if you bought before or after the BCH fork. If before you have those coins too.

MrButtersWorth4000

what is the transaction fee? (what app do you use to purchase with?) is it BCH(?) or BTC?

Willing_Coach_8283

Bitcoin Cash BCH is exactly the Bitcoin Satoshi was developing.

roctac

Yes it's called BCH

If you want a peer to peer electronic CASH system I suggest you go look at Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and check out r/btc subreddit

It’s not facts, it’s cringe. But BCH is doomed, anyway because the base layer can’t scale to handle billions of transactions around the world without centralizing to large server farms that can handle the exabytes of data that would be required. Even with that capacity for storage, it’s doubtful the network could even stay in sync properly and complete blocks on time with so much data. The technology can only scale through a layered approach, similar to how the internet scaled.

This ship has sailed bro, it’ll never happen. Many of the same people who benefit from BTC being digital gold also have a strong influence over the overall consensus. 7 tx per second and a microscopic blocksize just ain’t going to cut it on any level and those same folks I mentioned are quite adamant that the blockchain must never been altered under any circumstance. The consensus deadlock is the real kicker tho. Altering Bitcoin’s blockchain (raising the block size) requires a hard fork, and the influential hodler/core dev coalition has zero appetite for that. They’ve got skin in the game, financially (Blockstream) and ideologically and see any change as a Pandora’s box. The 2017 SegWit/BCH split showed how ugly these fights get; no one wants a repeat of that for good reason. There are pros and cons to both sides and there may not even be “right” answer here. So yeah, absent a miracle tech breakthrough that scales Bitcoin without touching its sacred 21 million cap or base-layer purity, it’s likely locked into “digital gold” status. A pristine, scarce asset for the wealthy and patient, while the dream of everyday crypto cash fades. The question is whether that’s a failure, or exactly what its loudest voices always wanted.

In 2017, /r/cryptocurrency was "doing research" trying to find the crypto with the best technology and innovation because Bitcoin was a slow dinosaur. > - In 20 years Bitcoin will be to crypto what AOL is now to the internet. > - Lol—try 3-5 years. > - I think 20 months tops > - 20 yrs? Think 2. > - It' ll happen sooner. The world turns faster constantly. Bitcoin is like a fat, slow dinosaur > - Agreed. Could be months. The space is wide open for competition. Could def see ETH and BCH taking the crown. - Someday people will think that it'd ridiculous to pay fees and wait time to transfer money and they will buy IOTA - Companies will not bet on a burning piece of garbage like Bitcoin, and whatever they pick will win. I guarantee it. See: Bosch/IOTA. - Hmm your comment has made me think of possibly splitting my portfolio four ways - ETH, IOTA, XRP, REQ. - The sad fact is there are coins from 4 years ago that are better than Bitcoin, we don't even need new projects to take leaps forward. - Tl;dr I think your bitcoins are going to be about as valuable as your 20 hours of free internet CDs from AOL > - In 2017 alone, Ethereum, Iota, Ripple, Vertcoin, Monero and Litecoin have all made big moves in terms of tech and adoption. What will 2018 bring? 2019? Will Bitcoin still lumber into 2020? https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7kval4/in_20_years_bitcoin_will_be_to_crypto_what_aol_is/

Gotta keep looking forward for those billionaires to pump your bags because we are not in a class ear and you might even become a billionaire yourself. Nevermind choosing the right crypto to try and opt out of the FIAT system we gotta be hoping for central governments, central banks, money funds, and rich people who loves us, to jump in so we become FIAT rich. Don't EVER look at XMR, BCH, and Xno.

Looking forward to the outrage when BCH is legally treated the same as BTC

Wolf24h

BCH? ew

RaisePuzzleheaded26

I think the big thing people are missing is that the government is potentially holding BCH and BSV. Confirmation is going to make those coins rally hard.

First, you must understand that what I’ll say next will be downvoted to oblivion because of A) the same AI bots monitoring for this narrative and resulted in your thread being down voted, B) because it counters the collective narrative spoon-fed to the gamblers at rBitcoin. Second, you are absolutely spot-on, for BTC, which is no longer Bitcoin. What you listed here is the SOLE REASON BCH split from BTC back in the day, because BTC has a broken incentive model due to them artificially limiting the block size. They imagine a capped upper limit of transactions will force transactions compete to be included in the next block, and that higher fee will pay for the network security. BCH on the other hand follows Satoshi’s model for scaling, meaning, simply scaling the block size up exactly as Bitcoin was meant to scale: On Bitcoin, original, uncapped, vanilla Bitcoin (currently preserved as Bitcoin Cash), the idea is that millions of transactions paying a fraction of a penny each will end up paying for the network security; which is exactly how Bitcoin was intended to work. Please read “Hijacking Bitcoin” by Roger Ver to get a better idea - He’s now being hunted by the states on bogus tax evasion charges exactly because of this book. Good luck on your knowledge journey.

They started paying people in July 2024, but the people who asked to be paid in JPY only instead of BTC + BCH + JPY have just started receiving their money. Also, while most people settled for an immediate payment of 21% of the BTC and BCH they had at MtGox, some chose to receive a slightly larger percentage at a later date, when all legal matters involving MtGox are settled.

Cosmic_Monk

Because the bankruptcy was turned into a civil rehabilitation, which took time. Most of the roughly 200,000 BTC and BCH MtGox still had have been distributed by the trustee starting in July 2024, either directly or in JPY depending on what each creditor wanted. What they have left now is for creditors who didn't settle for an immediate payment of 21% of what they had in their MtGox account and who instead opted to get a slightly larger percentage later when all the pending legal cases are settled. They also still have the BTC and BCH of the creditors who couldn't get paid because someone (often the creditor himself/herself) messed something up. It doesn't help that the trustee has been rather slow throughout the whole process.

GreenStretch

4 years ago: BTC, ETH slightly up today, BNB up XRP up ADA slightly down, DOT, UNI, LTC, LINK, BCH down. [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20210307/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20210307/)

What people say to me today about BCH is the same thing they were saying to me when I bought BTC in 2013. I still believe peer to peer decentralized cash will win out in the end. I order take out at least once a week using BCH so it works fine where I live. The lack of adoption of crypto in everyday society is disappointing but it’s been largely taken over by “number go up” for the time being.

OderWieOderWatJunge

Do you still think that BCH is going to take off some day? Why? Can't use BCH for anything where I live. At least you can pay with BTC at some places using Lightning.

OderWieOderWatJunge

2017: $4,300 2021: $1,700 2024: $700 BCH had its ATH almost 8 years ago. Let it rest.

Tallrion

BCH. The upside potential is crazy. Not missing dat shit

RefrigeratorLow1259

BTC maxis scared alts will steal it's dominance ha ha! It has zero utility, BCH is the true Satoshi vision...

GeminiAi_ERC

I think he means that BTC is the guarantee safe pick. Everything else is not guaranteed. Alt coins and alt season changes every cycle. 2012-13 cycle was litecoin, peercoin etc.. (Monero 2014) 2016-17 cycle was BCH(Bitcoin Cash) ETH, Zcash etc... 2020-22 cycle was ETH ecosystem (Eth defi coins like Aave and NFT'S), EVM chains BNB Avax and Sol 2024-25 has been dominated by Sol ecosystem growth (pumpfun etc..) and memes predominantly on Sol also. BTC is the only major currency that has broken previous ath from last cycle cleanly. Diversity is great for sure. Just understand that BTC is what moves the market. The cycles are based on BTC halving events that take place every four years. BTC will hit a million per coin eventually but at its own pace. No one president or government is going to dictate the market

SkitzBoiz

You can't be helped. You really think Pi has a larger market cap then HBAR, LTC, SHIB & BCH. I want some of the drugs you are on......

Zwetzak69

We have absolutely no idea how Satoshi would look at Bitcoin in 2025, as he's probably long gone. It's a stupid argument. People evolve, and so could he (or could have been). People are free to 'invest' in one of the many hardforks of the original BTC. LTC and BCH come to mind. We can all see how well both of those are doing, lol.
