About BitcoinOil
 
BitcoinOil (BTCO) is the official name of Bitcoin's 2019 PoS hard fork which will implement a whole range of long overdue Bitcoin improvements. The new BTCO cryptocurrency will be based on the Bitcoin blockchain network, and the centerpiece of BitcoinOil and its "Optimally Improved Ledger" (OIL) will be the highly innovative "SSPSS" strategy focusing on the development and implementation of essential Bitcoin improvements in the fields of Stability, Sustainability, Privacy, Smart Sidechains, and Scalability, or "SSPSS", including but not limited to key new Bitcoin blockchain features such as (i.) minimizing Bitcoin's volatility (i.e. by connecting it with stable off-chain values), (ii.) drastically reducing Bitcoin's insane energy consumption (i.e. by altering the consensus protocol to PoS), (iii.) implementing true privacy features (i.e. by enabling confidential transactions), (iv.) empowering Bitcoin based ICOs and STOs (e.g. by employing full smart contract functionalities), and last but not least (v.) developing cutting-edge scalability solutions (i.e. by complete integration of layer 2 protocols and offline transactions).
