What is Bitcoin Cash?

Copy link to section

Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that spun off from Bitcoin in 2017. Though not nearly as widely traded or highly valued as its parent and predecessor, Bitcoin Cash is still popular. It operates in much the same way as Bitcoin but with a few notable differences. Translation speeds with BCH are considerably faster than they are on the Bitcoin network and costs are much cheaper.

How does Bitcoin Cash work?

Copy link to section

It works by recording all transactions on the blockchain. The blockchain is simply a public ledger with all BCH transactions stored on it. It has no centralised authority governing it and is secured by other users on the network. Transactions on the blockchain are confirmed through a process called mining.

Transactions are grouped into blocks and miners use computing power to solve complex equations. Once an equation is solved, the miner that solves it is rewarded with a newly issued BCH coin. The block is then connected to the last block, forming a blockchain. Anyone can view any transaction that has ever been recorded on the blockchain. Once recorded, transactions cannot be changed or removed and are there forever.

How is the Bitcoin Cash network secured?

Copy link to section

It is secured by the blockchain it runs on and its proof of work consensus algorithm. Transactions on the network are validated and secured by other users known as miners. Miners use cryptography to solve complex equations. Once an equation has been solved, a block of transactions is added to the blockchain. Miners are incentivised to verify transactions by being rewarded with Bitcoin Cash tokens for their work.

What is Bitcoin Cash used for?

Copy link to section

Bitcoin cash has multiple uses. It can be used as a means of payment to purchase goods or services from merchants accepting it. You can use it to transfer money around the world almost instantaneously. Other people use it as a store of value or buy and hold it for a long term investment. Short term traders also use it as an asset to speculate on because, like much of the crypto market, it’s price can change very quickly.

Why does BCH have value?

Copy link to section

BCH operates much like its big brother, Bitcoin, although its value comes from faster and cheaper transactions. With Bitcoin, block sizes are limited to 1 megabyte, allowing only around seven transactions per second. Bitcoin Cash uses a block size of 32 megabytes, which lets it process over 100 transactions per second.

Another valuable feature of BCH is its scarcity. Like Bitcoin, only 21 million BCH coins will ever be created. As time goes one and fewer coins are available to be mined, Bitcoin Cash’s value may increase.

Who created Bitcoin Cash?

Copy link to section

Bitcoin Cash was created in 2017 by a group of Bitcoin users. This group of developers disagreed with certain elements of the Bitcoin network and wanted to create a network more competitive with traditional payment platforms like Visa and Mastercard. They modified the Bitcoin code and created new software called Bitcoin Cash.

Where can I buy Bitcoin Cash?

Copy link to section

You can buy Bitcoin Cash on either a centralised cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) or decentralized exchange (DEX), depending on its availability. An exchange is a marketplace that allows you to sign up, deposit your money, and buy some crypto, just as you would with a stock trading platform.

Our guide on how & where to buy Bitcoin Cash explains step-by-step exactly how to get started with a reliable crypto exchange, or via one of the most popular decentralized exchanges.

Most cryptocurrency brokers allow you to keep the coins you buy in your account. However, you may want to sign up for a dedicated crypto wallet for some extra security.

Are there any other ways to invest in Bitcoin Cash?

Copy link to section

The simplest way to invest in Bitcoin Cash is to buy it outright. However, another option is to simply open a crypto account. Crypto accounts are like regular bank accounts and allow you to store a variety of currencies, send and receive payments, earn interest on savings, and spend freely with a credit card.

You can also invest in crypto more generally through a crypto ETF or a crypto fund. These are financial instruments that give you exposure to a group of leading cryptocurrencies, more suited to high net worth individuals.

Are there any Bitcoin Cash alternatives?

Copy link to section

Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain and is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies. Others have tweaked the code to offer something different, such as even faster transactions. Here’s a selection of the best Bitcoin Cash alternatives.

  • Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the most popular.
  • Bitcoin SV. Bitcoin SV can support over 50,000 transactions per second.
  • Ethereum. Ethereum is the second most popular crypto.
