How exactly does the @Ravencoin fork differ from the original #Bitcoin ?

A🧵...
1/ 💡 Ideology

#RVN aims to facilitate collaboration with financial institutions.

#BTC was created to address people’s lack of trust in financial institutions.
2/ ✅ Use-Case

#RVN carries statements of truth about who owns what assets, regulated or unregulated (the platform supports both).

#BTC can be used as a means of exchange, a store of value, and a speculative asset, among other uses.
3/ 📐 Scalability

#RVN is unlikely to have an issue with scaling in the near future thanks to its faster block times and larger blocks.

#BTC favors second-layer solutions like SegWit and the #LightningNetwork to tackle scaling.
4/ ⛏ Mining

#RVN currently uses X16R algorithm—but, as it has recently proved unsuccessful in being ASIC-resistant, a hard fork will occur on May 6th to a KawPow algorithm.

#BTC uses the SHA-256 algorithm to reach network consensus, and is therefore not ASIC-resistant.
