Born amid controversy, BCH has naturally been accompanied by a great deal of misunderstanding. This paper is devoted to clarifying two misconceptions about BCH activity.

Misconceptions about community activity

As many players know, the users of the entire coin circle present two completely different situations at home and abroad. Due to domestic policies and people’s gambling nature, the behavior shown in cryptocurrency is basically focused on “coin speculation”. Most of the applications are developed and used by foreign users.

On Reddit, a well-known foreign forum, almost every major coin has one or more corresponding subsections, allowing the same cryptocurrency enthusiasts to communicate with each other.

And BCH has two subreddit sections called

www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinca…

www.reddit.com/r/btc/ (Users 2…

People who don’t know BCH think that the first segment r/ BitcoinCash is the focus of BCH, because the name has an inherent advantage. Click into a look, this section only a few new posts a day, looks very popular. While some currency ranking tool websites will collect the activity of subreddit as a reference data, they all choose R/BitcoinCash as one of the activity indicators of BCH, the wrong indicators drag down the score of BCH. They may not even know r/ BTC exists, or think R/BTC is the domain of Bitcoin fans.

BCH veteran birds all know that the second r/ BTC is the base of BCH fans’ communication, which is far more active than the previous one. Cute new posts often ask: “Isn’t this the BTC section? Why is everyone talking about BCH?”

R/BTC existed before BCH was born, it was the domain of supporters of bitcoin’s big block, and after BCH was born, this domain naturally became BCH’s domain. I wrote an article about the history of the world’s Largest BCH community – R/BTC.

This is similar to the popular Baidu post bar “Li Yi Bar”, which is now a pure entertainment post bar and has nothing to do with football player Li Yi.

Misunderstanding of development activity

Many people rely on github code development activity as a core reference when judging the quality of a coin. Overall, this can be a very effective indicator. Because cryptocurrency itself is program code, the more active the development, the stronger the competitiveness of the currency, the junk currency that no one pays attention to, may rarely update a few lines of code a year.

The currency circle often spreads the ranking table of the development activity of some currencies, and every time I see the ranking of BCH is very low, even some garbage coins are inferior, I feel particularly humbled.

Let’s take a look at the Github update frequency of BCH’s ABC development team

Github.com/Bitcoin-ABC…

Generally, there were only a few weak Commits per month, so it’s no surprise that many of the reviews characterized BCH as being less active.

So what is the truth?

ABC is developed on its own platform:

Reviews.bitcoinabc.org/differentia…

Looking at the dates on the right, there are many code proposals being updated in a single day. I count about 150 proposals that have been updated in the last 30 days. Note that it’s not 150 lines of code, because there are many lines of code updated for each proposal.

This turns out to be the truth: BCH code updates are very, very active!

Why is Github so weak? This is because ABC released the information to Github after the phased development of its own platform was completed.

What’s more, BCH has multiple full node development teams, which is very rare in the coin circle. Most coins have only one full node development team. I only mentioned the ABC team’s development work, BU and other teams are not included!

conclusion

Hope that all kinds of currency ranking analysis tool website can treat BCH fairly.
