Bitcoin Supreme (BTCSP)

Bitcoin Supreme (BTCSP) is an independent cryptocurrency that launched in April 2018 with the stated goal of improving on Bitcoin’s original design. Rather than building on an existing blockchain, the project operated on its own independent chain and positioned itself as a more accessible alternative to Bitcoin. The initial supply was distributed entirely through airdrops and community bounty programs, meaning participants were not required to hold any Bitcoin to receive BTCSP tokens, which distinguished it from many Bitcoin forks of the same era.

On a technical level, Bitcoin Supreme used a hybrid proof-of-work and proof-of-stake consensus mechanism to validate transactions and secure the network. Staking rewards were structured around a 15% annual inflation rate, incentivizing holders to participate in network validation. The coin circulated under the ticker BTCSP, though early project documentation also referenced the ticker as BTCS. During its active period, on-chain activity could be tracked through a dedicated block explorer, and the project maintained a public GitHub repository under the bitcoinsupreme handle.

Development activity on Bitcoin Supreme stopped shortly after its April 2018 launch, with the GitHub repository receiving no further commits after the initial upload. The official website (bitcoinsupreme.org) and both associated block explorers are no longer accessible. The Twitter account (@BTC_Supreme) and GitHub profile remain publicly visible but have been dormant since 2018. No verified maximum supply figures were published during the project’s lifetime, and BTCSP was not tracked by major data platforms. Bitcoin Supreme should be considered an abandoned project.
