07: Bitcoin Cash, BCHSV, BCHABC, and The Hash Wars‪!‬ Exploring Cryptocurrency

Today’s episode is a strange one, a curious one, a bizarre saga of resource warring, imposters, and a crypto community in disarray. We will learn everything there is to know about Bitcoin Cash by reviewing this odd saga of hard forks in the Bitcoin network, the scalability argument that began way back in 2009, block size limitations in the blockchain, and the recent transition into BCHSV and BCHABC. You’ll learn what these cryptocurrencies are, why they exist, what makes them different from Bitcoin as we go down a rabbit hole of the bemusing story of Craig Wright aka The “Real” Satoshi Nakamoto and Roger Ver. Today’s episode also features a quick news flash about the goings on in Venezuela, where hyperinflation has caused the emergence of a government supported remittance program for Bitcoin and Litecoin…which may very well become the first instances of decentralized cryptocurrencies becoming a sort of “official” currency of a nation!
