About Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency created in 2017 through a “fork” of Bitcoin — a split in the network that produced a separate chain. It was born from a long-running debate about how Bitcoin should scale.
Bitcoin Cash increased the block size to allow more transactions per block, with the goal of enabling cheaper, faster on-chain payments than Bitcoin. It shares Bitcoin’s proof-of-work foundations and a capped supply, but follows a different roadmap focused on being usable as electronic cash.
Bitcoin Cash remains a notable payments-focused coin, but it has far less network effect and security than Bitcoin, and the “scaling” debate it emerged from is still contested. BCH is volatile like all crypto.
The story
Bitcoin Cash is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with larger blocks, aimed at cheaper, faster on-chain payments. It shares Bitcoin’s proof-of-work base and capped supply but follows its own roadmap.
The context
Bitcoin Cash embodies one side of Bitcoin’s scaling debate — bigger blocks for payments. The trade-off is far less network effect and security than Bitcoin, and that debate never fully resolved. BCH is volatile.
Merchant and payment adoption, its halving schedule, and hashrate security relative to Bitcoin, from which it forked.
