Bitcoin Cash – A More Scalable Bitcoin (Fork)

What is Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a relatively recent hard fork of Bitcoin that was brought about in 2017 by a group of Bitcoin activists and heavily promoted by Roger Ver, who felt like Bitcoin had become more of a digital investment rather than a transactional currency. They’ve increased the block size from 1MB to 32MB which allowed more transactions to be processed at a lower cost.

What is a hard fork?

A hard fork is a change of the protocol that creates a modified but nearly identical version of a cryptocurrency without backward compatibility, and it is usually done to bring radical changes that are otherwise impossible to make, which was the case with Bitcoin Cash.

Why Bitcoin Cash?

As a fork of Bitcoin, BCH keeps many of its useful features. It makes transactions cheaper and faster, but no less reliable, as it still uses the same Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm as the original. Many people consider Bitcoin Cash to be the ultimate solution to Bitcoin’s problems, and it keeps attracting new followers all the time.

BCH & BCV

Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV) is the fork that formed in 2018 after a conflict between two factions in the Bitcoin Cash community led by Roger Ver and Craig Wright. As a rival to BCH, it aims to fulfill Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision of Bitcoin’s whitepaper by maintaining a stable network, increasing capacity and instilling confidence among companies that utilize the BSV blockchain. They’re aiming to increase block size limit to 1TB in two years.
