Zaping on nostr with #bch is called pumping, and while not as far along as zpping, it can be done. Monero is working on theirs too, so, in that sense, the wall around the btc garden is beginning to show cracks.

Regardong bch sov, it really has not been a fair fight. That said, while the gains have not been as stellar, they have been on the rise since the crypto winter in '22, at times surpassing btc.

In the way of where to spend I don't knowoff any BCH markets off the top ofvmy head, certainly, much likevBtc, none as good as what the #Monero community offers. But, they have a very good ecosystem that includes an incredibly easy to use POS ( pos.cash / Bitcoin Cash Register) a reasonoably entertaining gaming suite at bch.games

And even more stuff at discover.cash

All of this is done without a layer 2, fedimint or anything resembling external custody.

Enjoy btc for it's number go up sov, because that is really all it's designed for. Anything beyond that is just a 2nd rate Ethereum imitation.

NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS
