Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash is a decentralized digital currency that emerged from a hard fork of Bitcoin in August 2017. The primary motivation behind its creation was to address scalability issues associated with the original Bitcoin network, particularly the limitations on transaction processing capacity. Bitcoin Cash allows for larger block sizes, enabling more transactions to be processed in each block compared to Bitcoin, which aims to improve transaction speed and lower fees for users. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, utilizing blockchain technology to facilitate secure and transparent transactions without the need for intermediaries such as banks. Bitcoin Cash has its own distinct community, developmental team, and ecosystem of applications, trading separately from Bitcoin on various cryptocurrency exchanges. The currency's ticker symbol is BCH.
