About Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency created in 2017 through a 'fork' (split) from Bitcoin, by a community that wanted larger block sizes to allow cheaper, faster everyday payments. It aims to function as 'peer-to-peer electronic cash' with low fees, positioning itself as a spending currency rather than a store of value. BCH shares Bitcoin's early history but has a separate blockchain, community and roadmap, and a much smaller market value. It has faced debate about its direction and further splits. Bitcoin Cash is a high-risk, volatile cryptocurrency.
