The Bitcoin Cash Podcast: Episodes 176 - 185

FundMe: Episodes 176 - 185 of The Bitcoin Cash Podcast### Funding requested: 28.5 BCH (~$570 / BCH)## Deliverable- Episodes 176 - 185. The same show you already know and (hopefully) love.- Weekly BCH Bullet newsletter on Sundays during the delivery period of the episodes.## Notes### FundMeThe Podcast is thriving with a dedicated workspace and broadcast area. The Podcast has now been running for more than 5 years, and it's amazing for me to reflect on how things have changed in that time. Appreciation to all listeners, and bonus appreciation to the ones that have been part of the entire 5 year journey!### VisibilityThe Podcast has grown another 10% on Youtube since the last FundMe, now reaching 3.37k subs. It is still rate limited on Twitter, every time it hits 9 990 followers it then "mysteriously" loses 50 or so followers - as has been the case for many months at this point. Even large visibility from discussion around Epstein and Who Killed Bitcoin related commentary apparently did not gain any new followers (curious!).Regardless, The BCH Bullet is still growing and has nearly doubled in size to 49 subscribers and 300 Twitter followers. That's really nice to see our expanding reach.Although it is not specifically a Podcast initiative, my hope is that BCH can also work around algorithmic suppression on Twitter with BChat from Selene. Between that and growing interest from outsiders maybe we can break through to the next level of reach.## Note to the community2026 has started well for the BCH community, rising in price while the market falls apart for competitors. Epstein papers have also created huge interest in the Hijacking, which is increasing interest in BCH as a byproduct.Very excited for the Layla upgrade to go live in May at BLISS! Looking forward to meeting new Podcast listeners in person and catching up with some regulars!Let's keep building Bitcoin Cash.### Proof of WorkI have aggregated previous delivery & community work (including previous 5x FundMes + 5x Flipstarter delivery & accountability) on a dedicated page on the Bitcoin Cash Podcast website.

I was hoping to make this kind of community incentive for proof-of-HODL to gain extra traction but it doesn't seem very in demand. I still like the concept, but after several attempts without getting much flow on traction I'm deciding it's better to listen to the feedback of the market.## DisclaimerI will be completing the deliverables whether or not the FundMe gets funded, the continuation of the show & my assistance to the community is in not directly contingent on this funding request. However, as per previous FundMe, I believe this is a valuable community service & get a lot of feedback in that regard. The community contributions do a lot to help the show operate in the community's best interest without compromising for financial necessity.## ContactAs always, for any questions, comments or suggestions I can be reached at jeremy@bitcoincashpodcast.com, on Twitter at https://x.com/TheBCHPodcast or on Telegram https://t.me/BitcoinCashPodcast.
