Paul Storzc's fork is called ecash (ECX, https://e.cash). Confusing as there is already a cryptocurrency called Ecash (XEC) which is a BCH fork, and because the BTC influencers have been calling BCH bcash for a decade. 

The main purpose is to activate BIP300/301, drivechains. He’s also reducing the block size limit to 400kb. Presumably to push people off chain to drivechains. In April, he floated the idea of seizing Satoshi’s coins and redistributing them to “early investors”.

The Fiat system was based on Debt. The next system is based on Behavioral Access.

BlackRock, the BIS and the Central Banks know the Dollar is dying. They are preparing the Tokenized Economy with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Cash is anonymous. If you have a $100 bill, the Bank doesn't know if you buy a Bible, a rifle, or an apple. It offers too much sovereignty to the Peasant.

The New Protocol is conditional money: A CBDC is not just digital money. It is Programmable Money. The Central Bank issues a token directly to your digital wallet. But the token has code attached to it (Smart Contracts).
They can program the money to expire thus forcing you to spend it to stimulate the economy. They can program it to restrict purchases.
* "You have reached your carbon footprint limit for meat this month, your money will only work for bug-protein".
* They can freeze it instantly if you attend an unapproved protest.

Larry Fink (BlackRock) has stated the goal is "The tokenization of every financial asset." They want every stock, bond, and deed on a centralized ledger they control.

The 20th century was about extracting your wealth via inflation. The 21st century is about extracting your agency via algorithms. Money ceases to be a store of value and becomes a Compliance Voucher.

Bitcoin is the only mathematical counter-measure, because it is a ledger with no Admin. That is why they will fight it, or try to buy all of it to corner the market.

Looking for real parent feedback from the US on platforms for kids/minors with Bitcoin:
• EarlyBird Crypto
• BTCBitByBit (Family Corner)
• BitKids
• Binance Junior
• Cash App Families
Which ones have you actually used? Any pros, cons, issues with availability, or better US options?

Literally no one knows what they are talking about on here, there is no real advice to be had. You can’t analyze chaos..

If you bought bitcoin in 2017, you made some money. If you’re using it as an investment vehicle in 2026, you’re just rolling some expensive dice.

That being said, keep doing what y’all are doing… the memes are funny.

Kratter claims to care about on-chain self-custody while supporting a fork with a tiny 300kb max block size. In the long term, everyone on XBT will be using custodial L2s. 

High gold transaction fees : fiat :: high L1 bitcoin fees : L2 such as custodial lightning & liquid network

Q: What is this?

A: The BCH community is experimenting with exposing the naked shorting used by exchanges (famously Binance didn't even report their BCH reserves for a very long time - unlike other major coins). Of course, this is simply another manifestation of attempts to suppress Bitcoin the p2p cash as outlined in "Hijacking Bitcoin" book. The idea is to regularly coordinate a day when the community withdraws coins from exchanges to on-chain wallets and suck up all the available liquidity, create an impact on the price & in an extreme case blow up a naked shorting exchange that can't meet its BCH obligations. Think of it like GME & Wall Street Bets for BCH, or the XMR community has a similar idea called "Monerun". This was discussed on Podcast episode 142 if you want to hear more.

Q: When?

A: Now. Any time during the window 0:00 - 23:59 on bank run day UTC time ideally, but if you miss the window slightly that's fine the day after still works. The bank run repeats on the 1st & 15th of each month.

Q: How do I participate?

A: Buy BCH on any custodial exchange (with any fiat or other crypto) & withdraw to your self custodial wallet. Then like this thread & leave a comment saying you participated. Any exchange that is easiest for you or crypto ATM or even any p2p trade works - as long as you are increasing your BCH held self-custodially then you are contributing to the pressure on custodially held BCH supply (which will naturally flow through the market).

Q: What if I don't use exchanges / all my funds are in BCH already?

A: Great work on living the p2p cash dream! You can still contribute by selling some goods & services on that day in order to increase your self-custodial BCH, as well as make noise on social media to spread the word to others!

Q: If this is predictably repeated & publicly announced, can't people "frontrun" it by selling into our volume?

A: Yes, but that's a win if they do. If BCH Bank Run is popular enough to noticeably move the price, it's already working. If it's getting enough attention that new people are getting interested in the ecosystem & the coin to follow BCH & think about it regularly - even if they start out as speculators - that's a win. The curiosity of why BCH is uniquely acting like this will lead them to delve deeper sooner or later.

Q: Anything else I need to know?

A: BCH started at rank 23 & has climbed as high as rank 10 (!!!) since this initiative began. Coincidence? Hard to say. Exchanges issues have been plentiful in blocking withdraws. The whole market is obviously a scam, but the good news is that bank runs is one way we can potentially uncover naked shorting activity. Keep an eye on the price & watch the price today & this week to see what happens (or distress among custodial exchanges). I will update this thread with anything I notice.

Bitcoin's supply limit is an interesting design choice what do you think is the biggest benefit of having a fixed Supply?

The last 5 years showed bitcoin drops twice as fast as the growth of inflation. Literally save your mental and money just losing money on inflation
