What is Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin that split off on August 1, 2017. It was launched by miners and developers who disagreed with Bitcoin’s direction: they opposed the SegWit upgrade and wanted bigger blocks. There is no single creator; the first node software was Bitcoin ABC. Anyone holding bitcoin at the moment of the split received the same amount of BCH.

Under the hood it stays close to Bitcoin: proof-of-work mining with SHA-256, the same supply cap and halvings roughly every four years. The key difference is block size: the limit went to 8 MB, then 32 MB, and since May 2024 it adjusts to demand through the ABLA algorithm. Mining difficulty is recalculated after every block. The May 2023 CashTokens upgrade added native tokens and NFTs. Disputes over the rules have caused further splits: Bitcoin SV broke away in November 2018, and in November 2020 the Bitcoin ABC chain, later renamed eCash, followed.

BCH is meant to work as electronic cash for everyday spending. The difference from Bitcoin lies in how each one scales: Bitcoin keeps blocks small and moves some payments to second-layer networks such as Lightning, while Bitcoin Cash expands capacity on the main chain to keep fees low. The coin is used for transfers, payments at merchants that accept it and simple smart contracts.

What it’s used for

low-fee transfers
payments at shops and services that accept BCH
issuing tokens and NFTs with CashTokens
simple smart contracts on the main chain

Risks

BCH is mined with the same SHA-256 hardware as Bitcoin but draws only a small part of the total hash power, so large pools carry more weight: in May 2019 two pools reorganized blocks to reverse an attacker’s transactions.
Rule disputes have already split the network twice (Bitcoin SV in 2018, the future eCash in 2020), and during a split exchanges usually pause deposits and withdrawals.
Legacy BCH addresses look exactly like BTC addresses, and coins sent to the wrong network can only be recovered with the help of whoever holds the keys; the CashAddr format with the bitcoincash: prefix was introduced to prevent such mix-ups.

What is the Bitcoin Cash all-time high?

How is Bitcoin Cash different from Bitcoin?

The two chains share their history up to August 2017, the SHA-256 mining algorithm and the same supply cap. Bitcoin Cash rejected SegWit and raised the block size to fit more payments on the main chain, while Bitcoin scales through SegWit and second-layer networks.

Why did Bitcoin split into BTC and BCH?

In 2017 the community could not agree on how to scale Bitcoin: one side backed SegWit, the other bigger blocks. Supporters of bigger blocks launched their own chain on August 1, 2017, and every BTC holder received the same amount of BCH.
