Bitcoin Cash is a fork of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that was developed in 2017 as a spin-off or altcoin.

Some members of the community pushed for a hard fork to increase the block size limit due to the necessity to support a growing number of transactions per second. This drive culminated in July 2017, when certain members of the bitcoin community, notably Roger Ver, believed that adopting BIP 91 without raising the block-size limit benefited those who intended to use bitcoin as a digital investment rather than a transactional currency. Compared to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash proponents were more dedicated to the role of a medium of exchange. Some attempted to raise the block size, but were met with opposition.

Bitcoin users had followed a set of regulations for the cryptocurrency from its creation until July 2017. After a group of bitcoin activists, investors, entrepreneurs, developers, and mostly China-based miners became dissatisfied with Bitcoin’s proposed SegWit capacity-increasing plans, they presented an alternate plan for a split, resulting in Bitcoin Cash. Segwit would subsequently allow second layer solutions on bitcoin, such as the Lightning Network, which would be controversial, and this disagreement led to the Bitcoin Cash split. The proposed split includes a plan to raise the block size limit to eight gigabytes, allowing the ledger to process more transactions.

Should the bitcoin community chooses to fork using SegWit, hardware maker Bitmain defined the proposed hard fork with the larger block size as a “contingency plan” in June 2017. At a meeting that month, the first implementation of the programme, dubbed Bitcoin ABC, was offered. ViaBTC, a mining pool, offered the name Bitcoin Cash in July 2017. The fork, as it’s known, went into effect on August 1, 2017. As a result, the bitcoin record, known as the blockchain, was divided in two, and the cryptocurrency was split in half. The running of nodes was a major point of contention between the Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin camps. Some Bitcoin Cash supporters believe it is acceptable that nodes can only be run by universities, private companies, and nonprofits due to large block sizes, whereas some Bitcoin supporters believe it is acceptable that nodes can only be run by universities, private companies, and nonprofits due to large block sizes.

Anyone who had bitcoin at the time of the fork received the same amount of Bitcoin Cash units. The technological distinction between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin is that Bitcoin Cash’s blockchain allows for bigger blocks than Bitcoin’s, allowing it to handle more transactions per second in theory. Bitcoin Cash was the first of the Bitcoin forks, in which software developers altered the original Bitcoin computer code and produced coins using the name “Bitcoin” with the objective of “making money out of thin air.” It is referred to as a strand, a product of a hard fork, an offshoot, a clone, a second version, or an altcoin in reference to Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash began selling at around $240 on August 1, 2017, while bitcoin was trading at over $2,700. By November 2017, the value of Bitcoin Cash had plummeted from $900 to about $300, owing in part to those who had previously owned Bitcoin selling off the Bitcoin Cash they got as a result of the hard fork. It hit an intraday high of $4,355.62 on December 20, 2017, before plummeting 88 percent to $519.12 on August 23, 2018.

On November 15, 2018, the Bitcoin Cash hard fork chain divided into two competing groups, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. Bitcoin Cash was trading at around $289 on November 15th, while Bitcoin SV was trading at around $96.50, down from $425.01 on November 14th for the un-split Bitcoin Cash.
