BLISS Bonus Content #1: Rosco's CashScript Workshop! Learn about programming in BCH with @CashScriptBCH in this masterclass from @RoscoKalis. Recorded on the last day of BLISS, but wasn't broadcast on the livestream. Tune in and get building!

@Jestopher_BTC If you assume regulators, entities that derive their entire value from being centralized, will fight to decentralize, then there is nothing to talk about here - enjoy the "ignorance is bliss" moment while it lasts.

@monsterbitar That would be impossible and defeat the motivation of most regulators pushing for real decentralization.

It's 11 am and I've already routed over 100 payments today ⚡

@TheDesertLynx @bitrefill @BitPay Yes, you could "pay with coinbase" and in the coinbase dialog BCH was available.

@monsterbitar @bitrefill @BitPay There was indirect support?

The OGs of Crypto adoption. No one's done more for using Crypto as money than @bitrefill.

Thanks for having us on, Vlad. We're looking forward to showcasing BitcoinCash's evolution and future trajectory to the broader crypto community. BCH FTW! 💚💪👊

@GrassFedBitcoin Uhm, according to that criteria..

BIP-110: Reddit mods hate it. This should be enough to extinguish any remaining opposition.

@TheDesertLynx @bitrefill @BitPay Funny, as bitpay didnt start with KYC and got up over 100k merchants, and are still around (though I barely use then today). Meanwhile, I have used bitrefill exactly once, then told them how nice it was and they promtply killed off the indirect BCH support. Very diff experience

@monsterbitar @bitrefill @BitPay I believe so but BitPay didn't really help anyone become unbanked and forces KYC on average users. For the past decade, I've nearly never mentioned BitPay positively. I constantly mention Bitrefill positively.

@TheDesertLynx @bitrefill @BitPay Interesting. Does the numbers back that up? (They might, but I haven't seen it.)

@monsterbitar @bitrefill @BitPay Heavy disagree

BCHers on Vlad's Podcast This is going to be interesting 👀

@davidgokhshtein If you have a good project and pay for attention you can reach more potential believers though, so it is still a highly valuable and meaningful activity.

You can have the greatest project in the world. You can hire every KOL, every influencer, every loud account on the timeline to push it. But if you don’t have a real community behind it, it’s not going anywhere long term. A real community knows the project better than most of the team. They understand the details. They know how to explain it. They defend it when people attack it. They educate new people without being asked. They show up when the market is quiet. That’s the part you can’t buy. You can pay for attention. You can’t pay for belief.

@Vladcostea I'd join but the timing didnt work out well for me. Will catch it afterwards. :)

Tomorrow I’m interviewing a dozen BCH guys in my podcast Not only because it’s been almost 9 years since the split But also because BCH has been doing a pretty good job with adding OP codes for devs And it was 2 years ago that I got excommunicated from the Church of Bitcoin for interviewing Roger Ver Fun times!

@ScythianKitchen @GeneralProtocol When we're at the stage where it's a good idea for normies to use this, the good outcome is we don't have to tell them and they will simply chose things built with it because they will offer a better user experience.

@GeneralProtocol @monsterbitar I wonder how this can be generalized so normies can understand. Probably not necessary at the moment but down the road some easily graspable parallel to an already existing system that makes it easy to understand. Is there one? I'd love to know

Traditional wallets store keys and repeatedly look them up whenever funds need to be spent. XO takes a different approach. @monsterbitar explains the system stores references to how keys were created, allowing them to be reconstructed only when needed. When outputs are spent, the related state can naturally be removed or archived as part of the lifecycle of the system. youtube.com/shorts/oE0o26U…

Most wallets make you blindly sign transactions you don’t understand. XO changes that. Clear actions. Clear approvals. Clear understanding. For the first time, crypto starts feeling like money.

@Vladcostea It was a ridicilous notion in 2017. It was maaaaaaybe an unsure thing in 2014. Maybe. But smarter people than me were already convinced at that time to.

“blockchains don’t scale” is a mantra from last decade It was believable in 2017 But in 2026 we have ZK data compression, sharding, more efficient client side validation … on top of 5G internet, Starlink & cheaper storage Don’t fall in love with technology, there’s always something new that will break your heart

Europe’s solar problem is no longer just about building more generation. It is about finding enough flexible demand. Pexapark’s latest analysis shows how severe solar cannibalization has become in Europe: France’s solar capture factor fell ~75% YoY in April 2026, from ~0.42 to ~0.10. Almost half of its solar generation occurred during negative-price hours. Germany recorded 123 negative-price hours in April, up 65% YoY, with 46.8% of solar output produced during negative-price periods. Spain is no longer facing this only in summer. In February 2026, its solar capture factor collapsed to ~0.18 from ~0.71 a year earlier, while negative-price hours jumped from zero to 148. The message is clear: solar deployment is now running ahead of system flexibility. Batteries, grid expansion and demand response are essential. But Europe should also take interruptible loads seriously — including Bitcoin mining and other compute loads that can turn on when power is abundant and shut down when the grid is tight. Properly designed, flexible loads can become buyers of last resort for surplus renewable power, reduce curtailment, improve solar project revenues, and make further investment in generation and grid infrastructure more profitable and bankable.

@ToniCepon @Vladcostea @bchbliss, of course :D

@monsterbitar @Vladcostea What? Something interesting that we missed? 😜

Love you too, Slovenia & Serbia ❤️ Thank you for listening to Bitcoin Takeover podcast!
