A fellow BSV'er recently asked a question on X that deserves a straight answer. If BSV is scaling to millions of transactions per second, with fees below a thousandth of a cent, and it follows the original Bitcoin protocol, why isn't the world raving about it? Is the narrative bad? Is BSV being choked out? Or is it all about to change "soon"?
Here is my not-so-quick answer.
On the evening of Monday 2 November 2026, the board of Paraguay's central bank voted unanimously to put Ueno Bank into resolution. A little after three on Tuesday morning it announced the decision on social media. By the time people got up, the app, the cards and the bank's other services had stopped working.
I grew up reading paper books. Later I moved to eBooks, and these days, if I am honest, I read fewer books of any kind than I used to. But I still read a lot, and most of it on a screen: articles, essays, long threads that should have been articles.
What I have learned about myself is that I only enjoy reading on a screen when the screen gets out of the way. When it is just the text, and nothing is blinking at me from the side.
And I am picky.
Lately, I have been noticing a lot of tweets from people in BSV: developers building apps, posting repositories, launching websites and wallets, even showing how to send BSV without the Internet, using radio instead. Many of these announcements are breakthroughs, things that have not been done before, or at least not that I or most of the public were aware of.
Last night I read a letter from Ron Tarter, CEO of MNEE App, the new name RockWallet is taking. I made a video on MNEE, when I was excited and hopeful that a stablecoin was using BSV. [Using MNEE, the USD stable coin on Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) with RockWallet, https://youtu.be/NKxCDGMtYrY]
This is where I share what I think about as I live and breathe Bitcoin (BSV): as I explore it, try to understand it, build with it and on it, use it in my daily life, and share it so more people get to know it, understand it and use it.
Essays on the place of the real Bitcoin (BSV) on the world — money, geo-politics, power, industry, humanity and our lives. Thoughts on money that crosses borders, and on who gets to decide whether it may. Why well over a billion adults have no bank account. Why you cannot buy your sister a pair of shoes on the other side of the planet without three companies agreeing to it. Why a name is an address, not a brand. Why the price of a coin should come from a crate of milk rather than a trading floor.
