10/21 ANDY HOFFMAN (CryptoGoldCentral.com): One Year Anniversary Of Bitcoin Rhodium MainNet!
It’s been nearly two years since Bitcoin Rhodium, the first altcoin principally distributed via BTC airdrop, commenced operations - and as of October 20th, the one-year anniversary of its MainNet launch.

It is truly amazing what has since been accomplished – particularly as the MainNet launch coincided with the beginning of a vicious crypto bear market…that had just a brief respite in the Spring, before a second bear market (featuring falling altcoin dominance) commenced.
Despite these severe headwinds, a strong, secure, network with consistent hash rate has developed; as well as continually growing, and diverse, investor and miner communities. Seven exchanges now list XRC; five wallets (including Trezor and Magnum) store it; CMC now lists and ranks it; and three successful Strong Hands payouts have been made - with a fourth, with double rewards, coming at year-end.
Moreover, privacy features were decided upon, and the Free Market One decentralized trading platform (to trade XRC, BTC, LTC, and physical Precious Metals) was further developed - with both anticipated to be launched in 2020.
One year into MainNet, 53,000 blocks have been mined, so we’re more than a quarter of the way to the first halving in mid- to late 2022 - when the block reward halves from 2.5 XRC to an extremely scant 1.25. By then, I expect the Strong Hands program will be winding down; XRC a well-known, established coin; and the crypto market ubiquitous, with Bitcoin many multiples higher than today. Thus, the only question remaining is – what will Bitcoin Rhodium’s ratio to Bitcoin be?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but I couldn’t be more bullish. Congrats to the anonymous Bitcoin Rhodium devs for achieving everything they intended, and then some – and to the entire XRC community for helping build something special, and continuing to spread the word.
