CryptoSlate recently spoke to Alex Pasfield, the 14-year old developer behind Bitcoin Voice, a platform that has been built for the Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin community to vote on important issues.
The young creator believes that censorship is prevalent in the BTC community and that voting mechanisms such as Bitcoin Voice will help to prevent additional hard forks in the future.
Bitcoin Voice is an application that shows public messages tethered to blockchain transactions that are sourced from live data.
"Bitcoin voice gives an official, uncensorable and verifiable voice to coin holders and allows them to be represented in community decisions, which has not been possible in the past."
In a recent article that was published on Bitcoin.com, they discussed how Bitcoin Voice could impact the community.
Bitcoin.com states that it is a balanced news feed it has a very strong pro-Bitcoin Cash feel, and many of the projects featured on the website are designed for BCH. Bitcoin Voice is no different although it can be used for both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, the creator has strong views on which of the cryptocurrencies is the true direction of Bitcoin.
"The primary reason is that the Bitcoin Cash community has a much larger appreciation for censorship-resistant governance and voting mechanisms such as Bitcoin Voice as a result of the censorship our ideas and proposals experienced within the Bitcoin community prior to the fork."
Pasfield decided to develop Bitcoin Voice after he and his friends closely observed the censorship that occurred in the /r/Bitcoin subreddit, where advocates for the increased block size were banned from the popular group.
"This tradition of censorship of ideas within the Bitcoin community resulted in a large portion of their community not being represented in governance decisions which has resulted in Bitcoin no longer being usable for its intended application: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."
Bitcoin Cash was launched in August 2017 and has since become Bitcoin's most popular cryptocurrency that has forked from bitcoin network.
