this is a reply to this post r/Bitcoin/comments/ebxv04/another_perspective/

due to being censored / banned at that sub ^^

It's easy to get caught up in price and get discouraged. If you're feeling this way, consider a few points:

Is bitcoin working as intended? Here are the current stats.

557s average block time.
1Sat/byte transactions are being confirmed
>50% segwit usage
Hashrate: 100Eh/s

Do we still have developer interest? Very much so .

Lightning network – 34K (public) channels, 859BTC (public) capacity.
Taproot
Miniscript
Schnorr
Statechains

How's the rest of the ecosystem? We now have decentralized and trust-minimized exchange options. Coinjoin pools ...

~ snip ~

... though I am nit sø God at coding reddit documents, I will repeat the sniped quote from u/oogally with my personal view as a replacement / comment, and I will end up in a fair table comparing the two major implementations of "BitCoin"

~ modifications ref. "BTC" ~

It's easy to get caught up in price and get discouraged. If you're feeling this way, consider a few points:

Is bitcoin working as intended? Here are the current stats.

557s average block time. | BLOCKS are FULL !
1Sat/byte transactions are being confirmed | at 14 days ?
>50% segwit usage | LøL to chain of signatures ^^
Hashrate: 100Eh/s | that is a LøT
0-conf got removed by intention
RBF has been implemented by intention

Do we still have developer interest? Very much so [payed by a single which source ... ?] .

Lightning network – 34K (public) channels, 859BTC (public) capacity. | LøL, in 18 months® ?
Taproot | whatever that is, excuse my limited knowledge ;)
Miniscript | what can it do ?
Schnorr | nøt at BTC (yet ?)
Statechains | driven by Gov. ?
Tether over Liquid as a final goal

How's the rest of the ecosystem? We now have decentralized and trust-minimized exchange options. Coinjoin pools ...

... i will not comment the idea of Coinjoin to censor transactions in this threat here - make a new one ! ^^

~ modifications ref. "BTC" ~

I try to build a table here:

	BTC	BCH
hashrate	100 EX	3%
price	6666	3%
shills	1000	0.3%
attack vector	5	100
0-conf	killed	still works
RBF	implemented	it hurts 0-conf, so a NoGo
segwit	pulled off signatures	following Satoshi
scripts	miniscript	cash script
Schnorr Signatures	still talking	implemented
Token on Chain	even Onmi (Tether has left)	thousands of SLP tokens, some even with business usecase and dividend payments in BCH
statechains	sound like a FakeToshi thing	a free decentralized uncensorable global P2P payment network, secured by POW

... excuse my typos, please.

open for a high level discussion,

真

In defense of Bitcoin.com - BEFORE the HEX situation is clarified

Posted: 17 Dec 2019 04:09 PM PST

There's been recent tension over the seeming promotion of HEX on the bitcoin.com exchange. Yes, I know, listing a coin is not necessarily an endorsement of the coin. But this was not a silent listing. There was a tweet about Bitcoin.com being excited to list HEX and Roger made a friendly appearance on Richard Heart's Livestream to talk about it.

This morning, I saw a YouTube notification for a video from bitcoin.com with the banner title about de-listing HEX. The video is now private, and it seems the situation is unclear as to where bitcoin.com stands on all this.

The situation may shortly be clarified. But BEFORE that happens, I want to make a case for why I won't write off Roger or bitcoin.com, even if they make what I consider a bad decision with HEX.

1) Bitcoin.com has been a great general resource for BCH info, and has been very clear about being "all in" on BCH, even when it got them a lot of hostility in the crypto sphere.

2) Bitcoin.com has done a ton of investment into BCH projects that it releases for free. They habitually improve the BCH ecosystem. How many of us are using the Bitcoin.com wallet?

3) Bitcoin.com provide an amazing developer toolkit, a great REST API and a free WebSocket API. Things I'm building right now are only possible because they have invested in providing those free tools and APIs to support ecosystem growth.

4) it was by watching Roger's videos on YouTube that I was first exposed to the pro-big-blocks side of the scaling debate. I posted economic objections in the YouTube comment section, and Roger answered them in good faith. I might be stuck in a small-block echo chamber without his efforts.

I don't have to agree with every business decision they make. I may even disagree on some particulars at an ethical level. But it's only a very short list of people and organisations on earth who have done more for peer-to-peer electronic cash. I for one choose to be grateful, and see the glass as half full.

Thank you Roger, and the Bitcoin.com crew. I hope you back away from HEX, truly. But even if you don't, I'll still be grateful for all the great help you've given to this movement.

BTC is firing on all cylinders. It has reached the apex of how useful it can be. And its priced around $7K. Was this the moon?

Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:56 PM PST

What does it mean to say "we need to grow BTC" ? BTC is completely maxed out, it has reached our wildest dreams of maximum adoption by having virtually full blocks 24/7. When it comes to adoption, it doesn't get any better than this for BTC - by mathematical definition. The blocks are maxed out and BTC is firing on all cylinders. Yet its price is roughly $7K at the time of this writing.

It's not really fair to make fun of BTC for being a "store of value", because frankly, it has maxed out being a "medium of exchange" - it can't be more of a MOE if it tried.

so here we are, having reached maximum adoption possible with BTC and it's worth $7K. Good job everyone!

SLP token privacy

Posted: 18 Dec 2019 12:59 AM PST

Hey all, was reading an article on slp tokens being like bearer shares as if its privacy was any different than any other token standard that have been around for over half a decade

Am I missing anything about its default privacy?

Throwback - The Hong Kong signed agreement with Adam Back and other BTC maxi pads included James Hilliard of Bitclub

Posted: 17 Dec 2019 08:35 AM PST

For the dipshit Gregory Maxwell who likes to point fingers at others - how about you point your finger at Adam Back President Blockstream (the company you founded) who signed the Hong Kong agreement along with his pal James Hilliard of Bitclub who managed their pool.

HK agreement: https://medium.com/@bitcoinroundtable/bitcoin-roundtable-consensus-266d475a61ff

Signed James Hilliard Pool/Farm Admin

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is here to stay: Sydney Ifergan

Posted: 17 Dec 2019 11:35 PM PST

A lot of people who feel that Bitcoin Cash is taking away the spotlight from BTC don't understand one basic fact- BCH was forked out to relive the original principles of Bitcoin.
