Bitcoin just forked. eCash (ECX) is live.
A decade of sidechain research. A decade of “not on L1.” Today, Drivechains activate.
Yesterday, building on Bitcoin meant lobbying for a soft fork. Today, you can just build.
Seven sidechains launch on day one. If one fails, L1 doesn’t notice.
If you self-custodied $BTC at the fork, you just received $ECX. Split your coins before you move your BTC.

i spoke with drivechain inventor @Truthcoin in the ecash amsterdam car park 🚗⛓️
The thesis behind eCash, in three lines.
But alas, Bitcoin can't go up much further.
It has already gone up 8 orders of magnitude, yes -- but to go up the final 2 oom, it would need to be used by most of the world (aka 4-8 billion people).
But the BTC culture does not prioritize this, instead it is pro-treasury, pro-ETF, pro-Lightning, etc
Good explainer on eCash from @Cointelegraph

The last Bitcoin block before eCash took about two hours to arrive.
On a network that averages ten minutes per block, that’s a long, awkward silence, and a livestream full of people refreshing block explorers sat through all of it, waiting for block 973,727.
When it finally came, the fork followed. At block 973,728, eCash ($ECX) forked from Bitcoin and stopped being a beta, a roadmap, and a controversy. It became a chain with its own coins, held by people with no stake in the project.
Hold BTC in self-custody? You already have ECX. Split your coins before you move your BTC: ecash.com/split/
