About Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency that was created through a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain in August of 2017. Each holder of BTC could access the equivalent amount of BCH after the fork was completed.

In short, the reason for the fork was that the Bitcoin community split in two camps who had very different ideas on how to ensure that the Bitcoin network is sufficiently scalable. 

One of the biggest difference is that Bitcoin Cash has a much higher block size limit – the argument surrounding Bitcoin’s block size limit was one of the most contentious points in the debate that led to the 2017 hard fork. 

Key Bitcoin Cash features:

  • Created as a result of a Bitcoin fork in 2017
  • Differs from Bitcoin by using a different approach to scaling
  • Uses a proof-of-work consensus mechanism

The maximum block size of a Bitcoin Cash block is 32 megabytes, while the maximum block size of a Bitcoin block is one megabyte. Bitcoin Cash’s increased block size allows it to handle more transactions per second than Bitcoin, but the higher block size limit comes with its own downsides as well – for example, it is more expensive to operate a full node. 

Many proponents of Bitcoin Cash say that the cryptocurrency is fulfilling Satoshi Nakamoto’s original idea of a peer-to-peer electronic cash. In general, the medium of exchange function of cryptocurrency is emphasized more strongly by the Bitcoin Cash community compared to the Bitcoin community.

While Bitcoin Cash is considerably smaller than Bitcoin, the coin has successfully established itself as one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. BCH is listed by virtually all major cryptocurrency exchanges and is supported by several cryptocurrency wallets.

Bitcoin Cash itself went through a contentious hard fork in 2018, resulting in the creation of Bitcoin SV.

FAQ

What is Bitcoin Cash (BCH)?

Bitcoin Cash is an open-source decentralized cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Cash was created as the result of a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, and resembles Bitcoin in many ways. Just like Bitcoin, the Bitcoin Cash blockchain also uses a Proof-of-Work consensus model (mining). In comparison to Bitcoin, the Bitcoin Cash project is more focused on making Bitcoin Cash suitable as a medium of exchange, adopting several updates designed to increase scalability (i.e. make transactions cheaper and faster). 

Shortly after Bitcoin was created and a block size limit was implemented (1MB), a discussion regarding the block size began. This was a smaller issue at the time, as the network was not so popular. However, by 2017, this was one of the main issues Bitcoin’s network had.

Due to the small block size, and a sudden increase in popularity, more and more transactions were being sent using the Bitcoin blockchain. Ultimately, this negatively affected the user experience - those who didn’t want to pay an exorbitant transaction fee had to wait hours, or in some cases even days, to see their transaction completed. 

Some members of the Bitcoin community argued that these issues could be fixed to a large extent by increasing the block size limit. Others argued that larger block sizes would make it more difficult to run a Bitcoin full node, and hurt the effective decentralization of the Bitcoin network. In 2017, this debate reached a boiling point and it became clear that the two sides weren’t going to arrive at a compromise.

Eventually, the side advocating for a larger block size limit decided to go ahead with a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, which was initiated on August 1, 2017. This was the creation of Bitcoin Cash, which had a block size of 8MB, while Bitcoin kept the original 1MB. Bitcoin Cash’s maximum block size was later increased even further, to 32MB.

How does BCH work?

BCH works on a decentralized blockchain that uses a Proof-of-Work consensus model. This means that mining is needed to process all the transactions. Mining is done using a difficult SHA-256 function, with most of the miners using dedicated ASIC machines.


Being a Bitcoin hard fork, the Bitcoin Cash blockchain contains all the Bitcoin transactions leading up to the fork, after which the transaction histories of the two blockchains diverged. After the fork, one blockchain became two, each with its own rule set and miners.

How is BCH used?

Bitcoin Cash enables peer-to-peer transactions with censorship resistance, similarly to Bitcoin. In general, Bitcoin Cash proponents believe that Bitcoin is not suitable for use as a replacement for money, as it is supposedly too expensive and slow to use in everyday situations. Indeed, the narrative surrounding Bitcoin has largely shifted towards presenting Bitcoin as a store of value rather than as an alternative form of money.

In contrast, many Bitcoin Cash supporters say that Bitcoin Cash is carrying on the vision of Satoshi Nakamoto, who introduced Bitcoin in 2008 as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.

Regardless of the endless debates between supporters of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, both cryptocurrencies can be used to send transactions anywhere on the globe on a 24/7 basis. Your personal preferences will be the deciding factor when it comes to which cryptocurrency you want to use.

Why are BCH coins valuable?

BCH’s value depends on its supply and demand. These factors are often affected by the popularity of the currency. When more people use BCH, its demand increases, and with that, the price goes up.

How do I get BCH?

You can get BCH on any exchange, quite often directly for USD or EUR. Apart from that, it is possible to use Bitcoin as an exchange mediator. Another option is to find someone to trade with in person, however, it can often take some time to find someone trustworthy.

Alternatively, it is possible to mine BCH, however, large upfront investments are required to make a reliable profit, so this is not viable for most individuals.

Is BCH a good investment?

The price of BCH can be quite unpredictable, as with many cryptocurrencies. It can be difficult to anticipate price movements and upcoming changes, so caution is advised.

Having that in mind, education and market analysis are strongly suggested when investing, as they might help a lot with minimizing losses.

How much does it cost to buy 1 BCH?

As of , the price of 1 BCH is .

Is it a good time to buy BCH?

That solely depends on the market opportunities available. On this date, BCH is , and you can find relevant technical indicators on our Bitcoin Cash price prediction page.

How much should I invest in BCH?

If you have decided to invest in BCH, you should carefully consider your financial situation. Starting with smaller investments is highly suggested for new traders, as it can take some time to get used to trading on the cryptocurrency market, which can result in some losses at the start. Increasing stakes is always possible later on, but you should never invest more than you are willing to lose.

How do you cash out from BCH?

Some exchanges offer a direct BCH pair against currencies like the US dollar and the euro. If that’s not an option for you, you can consider exchanging BCH to BTC and then cashing out your BTC to USD, EUR or any local currency.

Is BCH secure?

Bitcoin Cash is one of the larger Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies, and is backed by a relatively strong mining ecosystem. This means that a lot of resources are required to attack the Bitcoin Cash network. In order to manipulate the network, a malicious actor would need to control at least 51% of the total hash rate, which would be difficult (and expensive) to pull off.

However, the Bitcoin Cash mining ecosystem is still substantially smaller than Bitcoin’s, so if security is your absolute number one priority, you could consider using Bitcoin instead.

Are BCH coins legal?

Many countries have adopted cryptocurrency into their legal systems, considering these assets as property. Depending on the country, cryptocurrency use can range from severely limited to completely open. You can check the legality of crypto by country or territory here.

How are new BCH coins created?

BCH coins are created using a method called mining. Since BCH uses a decentralized network of nodes, there is no central entity in the system. Each block contains many transactions and is generated roughly every 10 minutes. The first node that manages to find the new block address is awarded with a set amount of BCH.

Is mining BCH a good investment?

In order to mine Bitcoin Cash profitably, you will need ASIC miners, which require a large upfront investment. In addition, your machines would have to be located somewhere with competitive electricity costs. 

For the vast majority of people, it makes more sense to simply buy some BCH rather than mine it.

If you are simply curious about the mining process, you could try to mine some BCH with your personal computer. However, don’t expect any profits - the amount of electricity you will be consuming will by far outweigh the value of any BCH you might earn.

How many BCH coins are left?

Currently, there are BCH coins available out of 21,000,000 total BCH. That means that the rest have yet to be mined and are currently unavailable for trading.

What is the Bitcoin Cash halving?

The amount of BCH that a miner receives as a reward for adding a new block to the blockchain is decreased by 50% every 4 years. These events are referred to as the Bitcoin Cash halving. The halving mechanism was first introduced by Bitcoin, and is designed to gradually slow down the supply of new coins entering the market. The most recent Bitcoin Cash halving happened in April of 2020.

How does the BCH halving affect its price?

Currency halving affects the network in many ways. It reduces the amount awarded for mining, so it can drastically decrease profit for some miners. This issue can force some miners to switch to mining other currencies or even stop.

In the case of BCH, the last halving (May 2020) has decreased the total amount of hash power in the network, as many miners switched to BTC for a better profit.

This can have a lot of effects, as it can slow the transaction speeds, increase fees, make the network more susceptible to attacks and generally decrease the quality of service. All of these are known to decrease the price of any cryptocurrency..

However, in the long run, less new coins are added to the network, which lowers the supply factor, and if the demand stays the same, it can cause the price to rise.

Having all this in mind, the repercussions of halving can be quite unpredictable, however, some changes are almost guaranteed.

Is my information private when using BCH?

You don’t need to provide any information at all in order to use Bitcoin Cash. However, you should be aware that all BCH transactions are public, as the Bitcoin Cash ledger is fully transparent. All transactions made on the BCH blockchain are publicly available here on Bitcoin Cash block explorers. This information is relatively useless to most users, however, a person with a specific knowledge and toolset could easily use this info to track specific transactions. In general, you should be wary of publicly associating your real world identity to a cryptocurrency address you control.
