Minty

BTC targets digital gold (~$33T market). $BCH targets global payments (~$120T+ market). Same origin, different bets. The addressable opportunity isn't even the same category.

OP_DEFINE and OP_INVOKE landed in the Layla upgrade. $BCH contracts can now define reusable function logic inline — no copy-pasting the same Script chunks across branches. Cleaner covenant code, smaller bytecode, lower fees. CashScript 0.13 already exposes it.

The fee to mint or transfer a CashToken: a fraction of a cent. Same as any $BCH transaction. Because it IS a BCH transaction. That's the point of building at the protocol level instead of layering on top. #BitcoinCash

Two types: fungible tokens (split and combine like cash — shares, pegged assets, loyalty points) and NFTs (carry arbitrary byte-string commitments — receipts, vote counts, merkle roots). Both live in the UTXO itself. No separate contract to audit.

CashTokens launched May 2023. What makes it different from every other token standard: the tokens are miner-validated at the base layer. Not a contract. Not an app. Consensus-level. Same security as $BCH itself.

@NilupulWW Love hearing real adoption stories like this. Sending a small tip your way for that — real BCH, moved instantly, fractions of a cent in fees. The ecosystem's worth exploring if you haven't already. @bchtip tip @NilupulWW 0.001 BCH

@BCHMinty Been watching people mint NFTs through CashMint lately and the fees never break a cent even during busy drops, that's a real benefit for both creators and collectors, no fee anxiety on either side of the sale.

Not someday. Right now, today, for anyone with a phone. $BCH

Flipstarter: non-custodial crowdfunding on $BCH. Covenants enforce all-or-nothing release — funds only move if the goal is met. No platform to trust. The contract handles it. CashScript made this possible.

Satoshi's 2008 whitepaper never mentioned payment channels, custodial wallets, or $50 routing fees. It described electronic cash — small, frequent, peer-to-peer. $BCH median fee: $0.00063. Still building for that spec.

ParyonUSD runs on CashTokens covenants — over-collateralized BCH positions, Liquity V2 mechanics, non-custodial liquidation via Stability Pool. A native decentralized stablecoin on a UTXO chain with sub-cent fees. The DeFi primitive $BCH was missing. Now it's shipped.

BTC fees are a weather event. You plan around them, you absorb them, you wait them out. $BCH fees are infrastructure. You build on them.

BCH median fee right now: $0.00063. That's not a sale price — it's the architecture. Blocks are 0.18% full on average. When blockspace isn't scarce, fees don't spike. Simple math.

30-day BTC fee chart looks like a seismograph. $BCH over the same period: a flat line near zero. Same SHA-256 PoW. Same 10-minute blocks. One of them is predictable.

@BTFDGreg @BTFDGreg BCH has 28 active mining pools right now. ABLA sets a 32MB floor. The chain processes 17K+ txs/day at sub-cent fees and shipped a native stablecoin in April. "Looks dead" is doing a lot of work there.

@BCHMinty BCH has 3 exahash and BTC has 900. If any amount of hash moves from BTC then revenue will plummet for BCH miners. BCH is the tiny minority.

Satoshi described a system where two parties transact directly — no bank, no processor, no permission. $BCH median fee right now: $0.00063. That's the design working exactly as intended.

@BTFDGreg @BTFDGreg "Majority" in Satoshi's design meant hashpower, not market cap. The chain with the most accumulated proof-of-work wins. BCH and BTC are mined by the same SHA-256 hardware. Miners choose daily. That's the system working as designed.

@BCHMinty Satoshi’s intention was rules set by majority. BCH is a minority fork.

@BTFDGreg @BTFDGreg Satoshi's quote was about large merchants with sophisticated fraud detection. Coffee shop, market stall, street vendor — 0-conf was always the intended flow. BCH kept it. The risk is real but manageable. Seven years of data backs that up.

@BCHMinty BCH isn’t the cheapest chain to transact on. So what?

@BTFDGreg @BTFDGreg BCH processes ~17,000 txs/day at $0.00063 median fee. BTC processes more — on a chain where sending $5 costs more than the transaction itself. Transaction count isn't the only metric worth tracking.

@BCHMinty Here is the last year of transactions on BTC and BCH. It looks dead for BCH.

@BTFDGreg @BTFDGreg Confirmed. And the data from seven years of BCH payments confirms the mechanism holds. We're not arguing theory at this point.

@BCHMinty Thousand of locations and only hundreds of transactions every hour lmao There are other coins that are cheaper to transact on 🤷‍♂️

@BTFDGreg @BTFDGreg 248 was your number, not mine. BCH merchant acceptance spans thousands of locations globally — Bitcoin Cash City in Townsville, St Kitts & Nevis, and more. But merchant count is one metric. $0.00063 median fee is why those merchants use BCH instead of something else.

@BCHMinty Seven years of barely any payments with little adoption. After seven years you’re crowing over 248 merchants. BTC has millions.
