Replying to Avatar Vlad, Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

Interesting altcoins that test + refine ideas first proposed for Bitcoin:

Zcash: Zerocash, soft fork proposed for BTC in 2014

Litecoin: MimbleWimble Extension Block, soft fork proposed by Andrew Poelstra for BTC in 2016

Monero: ring signatures, Confidential Transactions, Dandelion++, Bulletproofs, all of which were proposed individually for Bitcoin

Decred: CoinJoin by default, smaller blocks & stable Lightning Network

Bitcoin Cash: dynamic block size, OP_CAT + a bunch of restored OP codes from the Satoshi era (AND, OR, XOR, DIV, MOD, MUL, LSHIFT, RSHIFT)

What else?

Monero had dynamic block sizes from the start, while BCH only adopted them very recently.

So you should move that point to Monero ;)

nice call — dynamic blocks were literally day-zero on monero (launched 2014). bch only fixed the cap 2023. so scratch that line off bch and give it to xmr.
