What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash which allows online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. The Bitcoin Whitepaper, which outlines the original use case, was written by the creator of Bitcoin – Satoshi Nakamoto. All users who held Bitcoin Core (BTC) at block 478558 are also owners of Bitcoin Cash and can claim the forked BCH coins. All are welcome to join the Bitcoin Cash community as we move forward in creating a usable electronic cash system for the entire world.
Keep Bitcoin Free from hostile source code takeover. “A small group of programmers calling themselves ‘Bitcoin Core’ wrested control of the legacy development branch of Bitcoin and began to insist, counter-intuitively, that Bitcoin was incapable of scaling to more than 250,000 transactions per day… As the network finally hit this imposed capacity limit in 2016, Bitcoin began to lose many of the features that made it so attractive in the first place. Transaction fees skyrocketed…. and transaction confirmation times became increasingly unreliable; users could find themselves waiting hours or days for their payments to clear… They also began to remove many of the defining features of Bitcoin, making transactions reversible (‘replace-by-fee’) and stripping the digital signature data that mathematically guarantees one’s Bitcoins are safe with something called ‘Segwit’.” Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin & understanding the forks.
Keep Bitcoin Free from unnecessary fees – current fee comparison of BTC vs BCH.
Through extensive censorship and persuasion, the Bitcoin Core (BTC) devs & moderators have kept block sizes small & created an economy of fees for miners. This creates costly fees & long wait times for all users of BTC. It also forces users off-chain to third party applications in order to make payments with reasonable fees. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has solved these issues by increasing the block size through a hard fork, adding instant, 0-conf transactions & only requiring very low fees. With multiple development teams and growing adoption among merchants and users of Bitcoin Cash, it is clear that this is the true peer to peer version of electronic cash that Satoshi envisioned.
Keep Bitcoin Free from centralization. By forcing users to off-chain solutions in order to use BTC as a payment system, the Bitcoin Core (BTC) devs have allowed a centralized hub infrastructure and introduced numerous vulnerabilities. In order to use the Lightning Network, you need to first set up one or more channels to route your payment to the recipient. Then you need to lock up Bitcoin within the channel on chain (as much as you intend to eventually spend). When the amount is diminished, then the channel is settled and closed, on chain again. High fees (depending on the network) must still be payed when opening or closing a channel. For this infrastructure to work as intended, there must be large hubs that route LN payments for users and provide liquidity. The large amount of funds needed to back these hubs are likely provided by financial institutions and other large holders. By increasing the block-size, in turn lowering fees and transaction times, Bitcoin Cash has solved these problems plaguing the outdated technology behind Bitcoin Core and brought usability back to Bitcoin (BCH).
Keep Bitcoin Free from government interference. Governments are increasingly trying to ban, regulate, tax or track cryptocurrency users. The need for privacy has pushed innovation in the form of CashShuffle & Local.Bitcoin.com for Bitcoin Cash BCH. CashShuffle is a fully decentralized coin mixing protocol that shuffles your Bitcoin Cash with other network participants. This shuffling process obscures your real spending and makes it difficult for chain analysis companies to follow your transactions. There are many more development efforts focused on the privacy of users in the use of their Bitcoin. One upcoming effort is Cash Fusion, an even more robust tool for fusing your inputs/outputs in with many others, obfuscating your coins to the point of near zero traceability. Local.Bitcoin.com is a platform for BCH users to arrange the purchase & sale of Bitcoin Cash, peer to peer, without KYC, using any payment method available. Purse.io is another such platform where users can buy BCH, without KYC, by purchasing Amazon orders for others that are spending BCH. On the platform, users can either: 1. Get up to %30+ off Amazon orders when paying with BCH, or 2. Earn BCH by purchasing anonymous Amazon orders for others. This platform is a great way to both spend and earn Bitcoin Cash.
Keep Bitcoin Free from community censorship.
r/Bitcoin on Reddit no longer exists for discussing Bitcoin & expressing opinions. It is no longer a place to share thoughts on technology. The moderators of r/Bitcoin have been censoring any dissenting discussion against their narrative for over 3 years now. Instead of encouraging conversations about topics affecting users, miners & traders, they move to silence users. Instead, they promote Blockstream’s Lightning Network, Liquid Token & concentrate on labeling anything other than the ticker “BTC” as a “shitcoin”. Many users do not understand that “BTC” is nothing more than a ticker. The code has been forcibly controlled by greedy developers who want to stagnate the project in order to earn more money from their centralized side projects.

Token on Bitcoin Cash
Tokens on top of Bitcoin Cash have become a reality in the form of the Simple Ledger Protocol. KeepBitcoinFree.org has created the SOUR token, built on top of Bitcoin Cash, as a way to reward those promoting Bitcoin Cash and give back to both the community and to those who may have become SOUR. The SOUR token is among the first to implement a system similiar to Proof of Stake, called Proof of SOUR. Holding SOUR above the minimum, for longer periods of time, will allow you to earn more SOUR. There are planned BCH & SLP airdrops to SOUR holders, a merch shop you can spend or earn SOUR, weekly poker tournaments where you can win BCH & SOUR, Staking rewards for holders (Proof of SOUR) and more coming! SOUR will continue to grow in the future along with the possibilities for Simple Ledger Protocol & Bitcoin Cash. Learn how to earn more SOUR Rewards and stack SOURtoshis for upcoming airdrops, staking drops or merch from our shop.
