That leaves BCH on 23% gains for the week, up from the $ 371 price recorded last Monday. The coin’s monthly high of $ 691 could be exceeded imminently if the morning’s market surge continues.
BCH’s price has been on the rise ever since appearing to find a bottom in December. In the five weeks since then, the coin’s value has increased 111%.

put forth the bitcoin cash tax plan , the mining farm CEO said he would be following a “non-debate philosophy.” (A reference to Chinese communist organizational philosophy which has now been removed from the article.)
But on Monday, one of the plan’s four cosigners seemed to have some grievances about the details. Roger Ver questioned the wisdom of handing over $ 6 million worth of BCH for it to become a “universal basic income” for developers.
I’m worried this could easily turn into a slush-fund boondoggle for developers, a sort of universal basic income for them that gives them more leeway to turn Bitcoin Cash into science project instead of the tight leash and collar with clear success metrics it should be.
In
a recent Reddit AMA , the tax plan’s creator, Jiang Zhuoer, gave vague answers concerning some of its particulars. No clear goal or timeline on how to best spend the $ 6 million has been offered thus far.
According to Makgill (and Ver), this way of running things reeks too much of a Washington D.C bureaucracy.
I don’t think forking over a pot of money and then saying “figure out something useful to do ”is a very smart way to get useful things done. This seems to be a recipe for the kind of money grubbing and inefficiencies you see in D.C. non-profits, public works projects, and grad-school programs … The money should come with very clear goals, timelines and specific financial incentives.
The bitcoin cash miners tax is scheduled to be implemented via a soft-fork on May 37. The tax itself is said to be set in stone, but numerous wrinkles are still being figured out.
