It’s censorship and centralization-resistant, fungible (no tainted coins), and scarce (fixed 21 million coin supply).
In 2009, Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto described Bitcoin as …A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System…
Today, BTC has developed into an unwieldy, purely financial asset serving as a “store of value.” It’s cost-prohibitive for everyday transactions because its capacity is limited to a million transactions a day.
And because it lacks basic privacy features, its coins are not fungible, and can become tainted. Its single mining algorithm promotes centralization and jeopardizes its long term security.
Today about 200 million people worldwide own BTC largely as an investment. Given its nature and evolution into a financial asset, whose primary purpose is trading, most owners do not take self custody. Instead, choosing to leave their holdings on exchanges that are vulnerable to loss through hacking, business failure, or government intrusion.
Additionally, given the introduction of ETFs and the rise of speculation on its price as its primary purpose, its fate is inevitably linked with financial markets, making it vulnerable to contagion.
Bitcoin was designed as a refuge from these forces. As BTC, it has lost its way and wandered from its origins deep into territory it was never meant to approach.
What began as decentralized people’s money has become just another asset class, correlated with other financial markets and subject to the same forces.
Plus, it’s very likely, no one you know has ever used it to buy anything - which proves that BTC is simply no longer ‘fit for purpose’ as electronic cash for all.
So, while it still reigns supreme as a “Crypto Price Barometer,” and the first and most popular cryptocurrency, it has never reached its intended functional use as a global, private, decentralized, effective and neutral, person-to-person currency.
Instead, it has become an easily-influenceable, speculative investment with high transaction costs and the involvement of trusted third parties.
The intended use of Bitcoin was to be a digital, non-government alternative to national currencies, easily transferable and an effective cash replacement - however, experts agree that it can never be that.
This leaves an important opening to fill.
Introducing
EPIC Cash
If you recognize the merits of USING Bitcoin as an instant, near-free, permissionless, borderless, trustless, private, peer-to-peer currency, you will love EPIC . . .
Because unlike other digital currencies, EPIC empowers anyone to mine and use EPIC digital cash without relying on financial institutions or third parties; and
Because EPIC’s creators fully embraced the decentralized open source, cooperative currency idea that inspired Bitcoin’s creation.
EPIC offers a robust and decentralized financial system that will exist for future generations, immune from geopolitical turmoil and banking crises.
With a limit of just 21 million coins, EPIC follows 100% of Satoshi’s Bitcoin DNA scarcity formula. It has ALL the needed features of a decentralized, current, P2P, digital currency.
At a glance, EPIC uniquely offers its users:
Scarcity
Scarcity, with a fixed supply of only 21 million coins: EPIC maintains Bitcoin’s identical hard cap of 21 million coins — With 84% of the supply already in circulation, its ownership trajectory aligns with BTC’s, to reach 20.3 million coins by 2028.
Mineable by anyone
EPIC employs a multi-algorithm mining system that allows ordinary computers to mine it with their laptops or desktops using CPU and GPU, making it accessible to over 6.4 billion devices worldwide, allowing for broad usage and continued decentralization. In contrast, BTC can only be mined on ASICs, which are large cumbersome industrial computers that need frequent replacement and have obvious onerous environmental repercussions
Improved security
A hacker would need to control 51% of three separate algorithms running across 3 different types of hardware (CPU, GPU, ASIC) to compromise the EPIC network. What’s more, EPIC is future-proofed with a developed quantum-resistant algorithm to enhance security. BTC functions only on a single algorithm.
Energy efficient
Two of its three algorithms are always on standby, consuming minimal power when not mining.
Greener
Unlike BTC’s ASICs, which create e-waste by needing replacement every few years, mining EPIC occurs on general-purpose hardware that is environmentally sustainable.
Fair Launch
Mining of EPIC began in September 2019 — with zero supply. No initial coin offering (ICO), no pre-mine, no venture capital, and no company in control. Every single coin has been mined, ensuring complete fairness and decentralization. Despite zero formal marketing, this free open source software has spread to 100+ countries so far.
Regulatory Safety
Because of its fair launch and decentralization, EPIC is considered a commodity and not a security.
Privacy and
Fungibility
EPIC leverages Mimblewimble blockchain compression to ensure that ALL transactions are commercially private, requiring no extra steps. This ensures that EPIC is fully fungible—and every coin is indistinguishable from another, so there are no "tainted coins,” which is an Achilles’ heel of BTC. Absolute privacy is achieved via Mimblewimble technology as no wallet addresses and no transaction amounts are ever stored on the blockchain.
Scalable
EPIC’s blockchain can currently process over one million transactions per day, with the capacity to comfortably scale into the billions without needing other layers, sharding, or requiring other compromises. This is possible thanks to Mimblewimble’s "cut-through" feature, which dramatically reduces blockchain size while enhancing efficiency.
Immutable
Like Bitcoin, EPIC’s core properties cannot be altered. There are no admin keys, no backdoors, and no central control, ensuring true decentralization. The 100% open source code is visible to anyone.
Governance-Free
EPIC’s decentralized design ensures that there’s no centralized governance or control, maintaining its integrity as a pure, dedicated peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
And that’s just the beginning
of what makes EPIC a one-of-a-kind coin among millions of others. Read the original 2019 whitepaper to see its forward-thinking and visionary approach.
Epic
cash
is the perfect,
global payment network
for today's world
When you need to pay anyone, anywhere, anytime, any amount, for any reason, for under a penny and in under a minute – directly from your phone, laptop or desktop …
When you need unstoppable money – Epic Cash …
When the financial system has problems, with banks and markets in turmoil – EPIC held confidentially in a self-custodial wallet serves as a safe harbor, providing refuge from systemic storms and insulation from contagion …
When you need commercially private, fast, lightweight, accessible to all, and exists in an incorruptible, fully decentralized system operating through mining on ordinary computers, anywhere and everywhere in the world.
The focus of EPIC as a fully decentralized project has been on building robust technology rather than promotion. And now that the infrastructure is set, and ready for mass adoption, it is being made available to the public for use.
EPIC is fast, virtually free to use, and open to all. Which is especially good news for the 1.8 billion adults who have no access to the global financial system, and another 1.3 billion who are underserved.
Epic Cash unlocks financial security for them by connecting them to a global transaction system.
Bitcoin Core (BTC) and others have fallen victim to the trading markets, instead of acting as a medium of exchange – because BTC is too slow, too expensive, and too cumbersome to be used in day-to-day transactions. Instead, BTC has become a settlement layer between financial institutions, with an average transaction value of $1+ million per transfer.
BTC has evolved into digital gold, held either as a speculative investment or as long-term savings. So its monetary use is understandably limited.
While BTC can be used for transactions by some, it has never gained widespread adoption as a routine method of payment — which is why it is not used in that way. With transaction fees costing as much as hundreds of dollars and settlement times sometimes taking days, it is simply too slow and expensive for most use cases and no longer ‘fit for purpose.’
On the other hand, the raison d’etre of EPIC was to provide a workable “Bitcoin for the Masses.” Meaning, a blockchain-based economic ecosystem, starting from the Bitcoin model, but optimized to appeal to any small-scale user for day-to-day transactions, scalable, near zero cost, secure and ‘fit for purpose.’
Which is why a wide range of algorithm improvements are incorporated into EPIC’s open-source software, to allow low cost, secure, peer-to-peer transactions across a decentralized network.
EPIC checks every box on what is considered “Sound Money” in the Digital/AI/Exponential Age:
Recognizable
Scarce
Censorship Resistant
Marketable
Portable
Fungible
Durable and Indestructible
Extensible
Commercially Private
Divisible
Epic Cash - designed to stand as a beacon of world-wide currency perfection.
If you believe in a world where the next iteration of BITCOIN reigns supreme, then join us.
EPIC is intended to carry Bitcoin’s baton forward like only it can.
It’s not Paypal, Venmo, or other payment systems, which are simply extensions of your bank account. EPIC is its own currency, in its own private transaction system.
EPIC gives you an extraordinary opportunity as an early adopter to get involved — and begin mining — as it gains widespread recognition.
Also with EPIC, there are no location identifiers to digital wallets on the blockchain. Transactions are constructed directly, person-to-person on a wallet-to-wallet basis and their details are not stored publicly visible on the blockchain – . Always-on Privacy. EPIC can be bought on both TradeOgre, a non-KYC exchange, and ChangeNOW, an instant swap service.

“EPIC Cash is beyond ground-breaking. It is the answer to the long sought question of what is the perfect cash medium.”
David Russell, KC,
Outer Temple Chambers
Adviser to Dubai Government
Epic Cash is the final point in the quest for true Peer-to-Peer electronic cash.
EPIC is the missing piece of a 100% decentralized P2P financial system. With a goal to become the world’s most effective, accepted, privacy-protecting form of digital money. In order to fulfill that goal, EPIC has already satisfied the three principal functions of money:
Store
of Value
It can be saved, retrieved, and exchanged at a later time, while maintaining its purchasing power.
Medium
of Exchange
Anything accepted as representing a standard of value and exchangeable for goods or services.
Unit
of Account
Unit of Account – The unit by which the value of a thing is accounted for and compared.
130+
countries
100%
uptime
1+ mln
transactions
EPIC is fully functional and has already been adopted and used by thousands of people in 100+ countries. It’s battle-tested, with 100% uptime and no security incidents for 3+ years running, having successfully processed hundreds of thousands of transactions.
Why should you engage in EPIC now…
EPIC is the future of permissionless, private, P2P transactions for anyone.
And like any other unit of value, the dollar, yen, gold, silver, oil, stocks or wheat … The amount and value fluctuates based on market forces. As EPIC has been introduced and adopted as a private, borderless currency, its value has steadily increased, beating BTC by over 200% since the March 2020 market low.
As it moves into “Viral” stages among billions of potential users around the world, its utility increases. So as with BTC, the first in will reap the greatest long-term value.
EPIC is here to stay. Act now and start using EPIC in a free, global market.
