About Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin created to improve scalability by increasing block sizes, allowing more transactions per block. This makes it better suited for everyday payments compared to Bitcoin's focus on being a store of value. It maintains a proof-of-work consensus but with adjustments for faster and cheaper transfers.
The native token, BCH, can be used for quick peer-to-peer transactions with low fees. Bitcoin Cash emphasizes usability as electronic cash, supporting merchant adoption worldwide. It preserves Bitcoin's core principles while addressing limitations in transaction capacity.
