With less than 1% of Bitcoin’s development budget
and a lot of hate that’s second only to BSV and Ripple
BCH is now so far ahead with development that Bitcoin devs study it to figure out how to soft fork some features to BTC
How is this even possible?
Firstly, I have been told that BCH is a dead shitcoin that only exists to fuel the vanity of Roger Ver and Jihan Wu. But it keeps shipping code while both Roger and Jihan moved on.
Secondly, hardcore Bitcoin devs who regularly speak on conference stages now take inspiration from CheckDataSig (which inspired Jeremy Rubin’s CheckTemplateVerify & CheckSigFromStack), OP_CAT, OP_MUL & all the cool introspection OP codes that already work on BCH.
Once again, these guys had 1% of the budget, but did a much better job than Blockstream with Elements/Liquid, MIT, and Chaincode. How is this possible?!
In a world where BTC is winning, this could never happen.
