Goal of Bitcoin Cash

Been create with the purpose of increasing the amount of possible transactions, and lower the fees of them


Founders

From original white paper of Satoshi Nakamoto


First operation

1st of August 2017: The first Bitcoin Cash blocks were mined. So starting the blockchain after block 478559 of Bitcoin


So what is behind Bitcoin Cash

Up to today, Bitcoin Cash seems to be the only Hardfork of Bitcoin having managed to maintain their supporters. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) aims to be a reform of Bitcoin to resolve the problems of scalability due to its limit of the 1mb block size. Bitcoin in its original shape is limited to 4.4 transactions per second. To understand, that in a block of 1 mb 65 % of the block is used to encrypt the digital signature. Further to the debate between the miners and nodes, a soft Fork was proposed as the BIP91 and BIP148 (Bitcoin improvement Proposal) thinking of resolving a part of the problem by introducing Segwit2x, an additional block in which would be included the digital signatures. The opponents of the BIP91 and BIP148 forced a hardfork to create the Bitcoin Cash with conviction that 8 mb of block size was THE solution to be able to include more transaction at a lower mining cost in a block . The whole being that is the economic issue, the miners want to concentrate their hashing power on the BlockChain which will be the most profitable to them and "nodes" wishes to see the transactions handled in the most efficient time.

PROS of Bitcoin Cash

  • Lower transaction fees
  • Faster transfert
  • Adjustable difficulty level for miners
  • Upcoming smart contract possibility
  • All other advantage from Bitcoin

CONS OF Bitcoin Cash

  • Still highly energy consumption du to Proof-of-work
  • Lot of insecurity from users for the futur

Conclusion

Bitcoin Cash was created by a group wanting to increase the number of transaction by block versus a group being afraid as that it becomes less profitable to treat. For the user, it offers a nother method of payment that philosophizes with the initial idea of the Bitcoin. The organization behind Bitcoin Cash still has some cards in its game. In May, 2018 should be voted an improvement to the protocol to add the possibility of smart contract to the transactions. Let see you they play them out.

And if you want to increase your trading performance, I highly recommend studying a trading strategy such as a well known one from Sir Richard D. Wyckoff which is THE trading technique professional traders don't want you to know about.

After completing the course, applying the Wyckoff technique on my crypto trading session allows me to gain over 700% profit in less than 4 months. And I wasn't even good with my trade entry and exit point... yet 😂

What do you all think of those supporting BCash doing it at the expense of Bitcoin? Looks bad when I see fud spread on media channels like Cnbc

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency created from a hard fork of Bitcoin. It is meant to have quicker transactions than Bitcoin.

The fork occurred at block 478,559.

At that block the Bitcoin blockchain split. This created two different coins from block 478,559 forward. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

Despite its origins, Bitcoin Cash should be considered an altcoin for the time being.

Although for all we know Bitcoin Cash become a major player some day, and in fact some have even predicted Bitcoin Cash could become the dominate Bitcoin (in this unlikely case, it would not longer be an altcoin), Bitcoin Cash is not Bitcoin (BTC) and does not have any direct connection to Bitcoin’s value.

With that said, as its own currency, Bitcoin Cash is useful in that it works just like Bitcoin, but has faster transactions due to its increased block size.

NOTE: Unlike some other Bitcoin hard forks, the Bitcoin Core team generally approved of Bitcoin Cash. See: Correcting misinformation on Segwit2x and btc1.

TIP: When a hard fork occurs, two versions a block chain are created. When this happens anyone holding the coin that forks ends up with 1 new coin for each old coin they held (they essentially get “free coins.”). This has driven up the price of Bitcoin since the summer of 2017 due to a string of forks that created Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold. A new upcoming fork, Segwit2x, is putting even more upward pressure on Bitcoin’s price as of November 16th. With that said, Segwit2x is more controversial than the Bitcoin Cash for, and it is important to be aware of that controversy (see the above Bitcoin Core link).

ADVICE: Keep an eye out for hard forks. Forked coins don’t often hold the value that the original did, but “free coins” is always a plus. With that said, Bitcoin Cash could end up doing very well in its own right. It is already one of the top coins by market cap.

You mean BCash? BTrash?

Sorry you lost me!

Cheers ;)

because it's meant to be faster than BTC I am hodl the bch :-)

Nice post I love it

BitcoinCash in 5 years will be the real Bitcoin, because BTC is just to slow and takes to much fees, I see BCC doing much better, but it will take a while because people that are getting into crypto need to understand the basics first, and only after that the change to BCC will be done. Turning, most likely, BTC into a baby compared with BCC.

Variable fees in BCH to keep them low instead of fixed fees for BTC as BTC value goes up, fees goes up too... Funny the anger between BTC and BCH and the propaganda one against the other. @streetz314 respond not evens a minute after my post.... look like a bot answers to me 😉
