      At one time, #Daddy_A had a small amount of #BTC ( #Bitcoin ), a small amount of #BCH ( Bitcoin Cash https://bitcoincash.org/ ) and an even smaller amount of #BSV ( Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision https://bitcoinsv.com/ ). I should ask him whether he still has any #cryptocurrency.
      
      It sounds like BSV had some good ideas, but I think most of those were already in the pipeline before BSV split from BCH. I'm talking about things like increasing the block size, so that more transactions can be processed in each ten minute interval. BSV currently has a market-determined variable block size and BCH has a 32MB block size. The original BTC still uses 1MB ... which causes contention for fewer slots inside the block, and raises both transaction costs and the average wait time for transactions to process. AFAIK, BSV is the only member of the Bitcoin family to give major attention to smart contracts ... including creating a new scripting language ( "sCrypt":{https://scrypt.io/} ) to make them easier.
      
      IMO, "smart contracts" make it easier to create non-financial applications for #blockchains and other ledgers.
      
      BSV is also tainted by Craig Wright's claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/10/21/in-craig-wright-verdict-reality-prevails/
