What is Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a peer-to-peer electronic currency based on the Bitcoin protocol. In July 2017, a group of Bitcoin users, developers and miners decided to create a new version of Bitcoin which focuses on low fees and fast confirmations.

In times when the number of requested Bitcoin transactions surpassed the maximum capacity of the network, miners could not compensate the rise resulting in high transaction costs and long confirmation times. The Bitcoin Cash team simply increased the block size limit defined in the Bitcoin protocol from 1 MB to 8 MB with the aim of a higher total network capacity, faster confirmations and lower transaction costs.
