    gnu: Remove bitcoin-abc.
    
    This package (version 0.21.12 from July 2020, which currently doesn't build)
    is for an outdated version of the Bitcoin Cash protocol. Since November 
2020,
    the bitcoin-abc program has become an implementation of the eCash protocol,
    which is different from Bitcoin Cash (different consensus model).
    
    * gnu/packages/finance.scm (bitcoin-abc): Remove variable.
