A bunch of MIT students got $100 of free bitcoin in 2014 – some got rich, some wasted it on sushi

“A lot of the students would pay the other students half of the bitcoin if they would set it up on their behalf,” explained Phu. He says he helped somewhere between ten to twelve people set up crypto wallets in exchange for a commission paid in bitcoin. It’s somewhat taken the sting out of the fact that he spent $100 worth of bitcoin — worth more than $14,000 today — on two sushi dinners.

Alright.. someone clear up smartBCH

Iv heard lots about the ability for dApps, smart contracts, etc. What EXACTLY is smart BCH? Is it another fork? Does it use the BCH network or is it another layer? Is there a separate currency / asset that was created from this? Break it down like you would a child as I’m sure someone else could use this explanation as well
