Buy Bitcoin Cash | How to Buy BCH

What is Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash is a spin-off of Bitcoin. As a payment currency, it’s stayed true to Bitcoin’s original spirit. But because it has a larger block size than Bitcoin, it has a much higher network speed – and costs significantly less to use.

The creation of Bitcoin Cash

In 2017, members of the Bitcoin community feared that proposed changes to the crypto’s blockchain would turn Bitcoin into an investment currency, rather than a transactional digital currency. This split in the Bitcoin community led to the creation of Bitcoin Cash.

The relationship between the two

Here’s a handy way to think of the technical relationship between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Imagine a new version of Microsoft Word (Bitcoin Cash), that can’t open files created by the previous version (Bitcoin).

Why should you buy Bitcoin Cash?

Demand for Bitcoin Cash is driven by two things.

Effective payment currency

High-speed and low-cost, Bitcoin Cash is an excellent way to pay for things over digital networks. It’s possible to imagine paying for a coffee with BCH, and saving on the usual bank fees that come with electronic transactions.

Leading crypto

BCH is a leading cryptocurrency with a clear use case, an active developer community, and a Top 40 market cap. And the cryptomarket’s history shows that the biggest and most active coins tend to deliver the best increase in long-term value.
