A predictably quieter month. December is always going to be a slow month - both myself & the rest of the Podcast team slow things down particularly at the end of the month, have a break to reflect & spend some time with family. That's in general effect throughout BCH & the world at large - it's important to have a proper rest sometimes! Just a short update today.

BCH Podcast​

  • Episodes 136 - 138 released, including the extended Christmas episode! Great listen for your end of year break time. Catch them here: https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinCashPodcast
  • Released a new FundMe (currently 84% funded), needs 3 more BCH to fuel the rest of the episodes to #145. If you're enjoying the show, consider chipping in! https://fundme.cash/campaign/18
  • The Podcast has now passed 2 500 Youtube subscribers & growing very consistently.

BLISS - @bchbliss​

  • Around 4000 FURU was airdropped to Jessica holders, testing out our new airdrop tool (maybe more to come there, hint hint)
  • Preparation work behind the scenes for BLISS 2025 so we can ramp up our marketing efforts in the new year.
  • Ticket sale begins 15th January! Mark it in your calendar, we're targeting to sell out our 100 tickets & will consider expanding the event if we do!

Selene - @SeleneWallet​

  • Lots of updates given by Kallisti on BCH Podcast Episode 138! Take a listen! CashTokens & Coin Control the next immediate items on the roadmap Last month's upgrade went smoothly, some users had to rebuild in isolated cases but otherwise no problems
  • Active users is just constantly growing & growing, we're finishing the year with nearly 2 000 active users for this year (counting from June). Expecting to massively exceed this in 2025.
  • We have some (UNFINISHED!!) documentation to help people onboard & resolve issues now live at: https://docs.selene.cash/docs/intro

Other news​

I have been reflecting on what has been most effective for attracting new BCH adopters recently. We should try to hone in on & amplify those features in 2025. The top answers seem to be:

  1. Vision & philosophy as p2p cash
  2. Usage as p2p cash
  3. Learning about the Bitcoin Hijacking
  4. Improving BCH confidence & momentum

Something for us all to think about.

Merry Christmas & happy New Year! See you all in 2025.
