BITCOIN CASH PODCAST SEEKS FUNDING, PLANS BADGER BURN TO APPEASE CRYPTO GODS
The Bitcoin Cash Podcast is back with a new FundMe campaign, seeking 45 BCH to fund episodes 146–155. The funding will cover research, production, editing, graphics, and distribution. In a unique twist, 0.5 BCH (2.7% of the funds) will be used to purchase and provably burn BADGER tokens on Cauldron.quest, a token earned by time-locking BCH on-chain. This move aims to boost Badger TVL and show goodwill to the Bitcoin Cash community. More information, including a breakdown of costs and a “proof of work” page, can be found on the Bitcoin Cash Podcast website. Donations over 0.5 BCH will receive a shoutout on the show.

Bitgree uses a multi-signature escrow system to secure funds, and even offers dispute resolution if things go sideways. With support for a growing list of stores including Amazon in the US, Europe and Latin America, plus Mercado Libre, Bitgree is making it easier than ever to spend (or earn) BCH without relying on traditional exchanges. They promise to add many more stores in the near future.
