A bit over a year ago there was a lot of discussions about #BitcoinCash and the topic of a #Roadmap. Back then, I spent some time with @im_uname to get his views on the path forward but after some exploring of the subject we put it aside.

This thread is a look back on our notes.
From a scalability perspective, there's a lot more that can be done, but there was mempool improvements, unconfirmed chain limits was removed and I think there was some delays in transaction relay that was addressed too.
There has been improvements to extensibility and script: we should have native introspection, multiplication and 64-bit integers after the May 2022 upgrade. Work has been put down to re-evaluate safe script limits, but unclear when/if it will be complete.
From the payments perspective, double-spend proofs are live and used in the wild, and the reusable payment codes has seen some work.
In terms of concensus and decisionmaking, there is now a mining validation service and recently @SoftwareVerde mined a mainchain block. Informal upgrade schedule is longer and more predictable, and in part due to the CHIP process we have had a wider participation of stakeholders.
As for supporting more usecases, we can now use multiple OP_GROUP outputs, and the discussions around tokenization schemes and how to implement induction proofs is making progress and is being discussed on a deep level.
On the infrastructure side, both a scalenet and new testnet has been set up, and an upgrade/consensus testnet has been proposed to help make future update more consistent.
All in all, looking back it seems that #BitcoinCash is still progressing in a significant manner, and I would like to reach out and give a big thanks to all those that helped make this happen.
Final note: the changes that did happen did not come about as a result of some roadmap, but from a large number of individuals/organizations working in their own capacity to address matters they felt were important.

I've seen a lot of people think that #BitcoinCash $BCH should go up in value now that #Bitcoin $BTC is wrestling with scalability issues.

In this thread, I'll try to tame your expectations a bit, and keep us all a little more grounded:
1/ Back in 2015, #Bitcoin was viewed as a panacea to a lot of different problems. Each of these problems have different value and the users back then seems to mostly be broad in their interpretations and views.

To make this more tangible, lets consider some (incomplete) examples
2/ It was widely believed that #Bitcoin would replace gold and fiat as a store of value, become a dominant type of means of exchange, would enable commerce and financial interactions digitally that was previously not possible and once stable would also be our unit of account.
