All about "Forking" ........of the Bitcoin to BitcoinCash
We wrote in length about why and how Bitcoin “forking” is happening, w hat you should do and also added some great articles like the one by Jimmy in our last issue.
So much fight over BTC and BCC, Miners vs Users, Paid vs Free. Yes the best part was getting those free BCC’s for everyone who owned BTC. Not for everyone but most who were prepared and had them in proper exchanges.
There is a long way ahead but overnight BCC has become the third most capitalised currency with market cap around USD 8bn and trading around USD 500. Clearly that must have attracted a lot of community and not only the miners Most traders were wrong but what amazes me most is like creating “money from thin air” - literally.
As a first, ViaBTC mined a 1,915.175 kb (1.91MB) Bitcoin Cash block at 19:13 London time. The first bigger than 1MB block in bitcoin’s history, bringing to life the new Bitcoin Cash, a day dubbed by some as Bitcoin’s Independence Day.
