Bitcoin Cash (BCH): A Fork in the Road
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency that emerged as a hard fork from the original Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain in August 2017. The primary motivation behind its creation was to address Bitcoin’s scalability issues and transaction speed limitations. Proponents of BCH believed that Bitcoin’s block size of 1MB was insufficient to handle a growing volume of transactions, leading to higher fees and slower confirmation times, potentially hindering its adoption as a global payment system.
