I wasn't prepared to write anything as article today.

It started as a few notes to myself - things that I didn't want to forget this year of 2025. But the more I wrote about those notes, I realized that actually they tell a real story that worth sharing. Despite not being a clean one, or impressive on paper is a real one.

This wasn't an easy year for Bitcoin Cash - sometimes it was messy, very demanding, frustrating but, at same time very rewarding.

What Most People Don’t See

A lot of my work doesn't end being published or become an article.

On most of them I answer one basic question for the fifth time in a day. I use as a testing tool that should work and find out if it works or not. I rewrite an explanation just because the first version sounded smart enough but not clear for the most of my audience.

There were those days that nothing seemed to work or move forward. No posts, no progress, no visible results. But despite all that, those days still counted.

About Funding (And Why It Changed Everything)

Fortunately this year, I had a funding.

I say that plainly because it matters.

That support made possible to continue my work when I otherwise would had to slow down or even stop completely. It covered basic realities like: time, connectivity, tools and the most important the mental space to focus instead of constantly improvising.

Without that funding, continuing this work would be extremely difficult. I’m not saying that for effect - it’s just the truth.

Truth must be told: outside a small circle of mine here in the community, there has never been consistent sponsorship for what I do. No companies and no safety net.

This year showed me very clear what becomes possible with support - and how fragile everything feels without it.

Six Years In, Still Explaining From Scratch

I've been involved with the BCH community for more than six year now.

Some things have changed but many haven't.

Education is still the hardest part. Explaining Bitcoin Cash isn't done at once and move on. You need to explain it again. And again. Sometimes you even explain to genuine people who are curious and want to learn more, but sometimes you just try to explain to the ones that are tired of crypto entirely.

Most of my effort this year went into very practical things:

• Writing explanations in plain layman language

• Helping first-time users to make their 1st transaction

• Pointing people in the right direction to tools that actually work in real conditions

• Adding context to discussions that were going nowhere

• Sharing adoption stories that don’t usually make headlines

All of this doesn't feel spectacular while you are working your a** out. It's a slow work.

The Moments That Made It Worth It

In all my years in the ecosystem I don't measure anymore my work by views or likes it get.

I consider the most, those moments that actually count and stayed with me:

• Someone telling me they finally understood what makes BCH different

• A first transaction that actually went through

• A short message saying, “This helped.”

I know that these moments doesn't happen every day, but when they do, they are enough.

Why I’m Still Here

Working on Bitcoin Cash is a blessing and a belief on a better money system for the world. The ecosystem doesn't grow because of announcements or promises.

Bitcoin Cash grows because people take time to hustle on the ground explaining it, testing it and using it - often without zero recognition and most of the time without guarantees.

This kind of work isn’t glamorous. It’s necessary.

Looking Ahead

This isn't a report but a checkpoint.

If all my work this year helped you in any way, which could be direct or indirectly, and if you believe this kind of slow effective, independent effort matter, you can support it for 2026.

Whatever happens next, I’ll keep doing what I can. That’s been the pattern so far.

And if you’ve read this far, thank you. That alone already means something.
