$BCH Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was born on August 1, 2017, as a result of a hard fork from Bitcoin, motivated by disagreements over the network's scalability. While Bitcoin implemented Segregated Witness (SegWit) to increase transaction capacity, a group of developers and miners proposed increasing the block size to 8 MB, aiming for faster transactions and lower fees.
The split occurred at block 478,559, creating two distinct chains: the original Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin holders at the time received an equivalent amount of BCH.
Currently, Bitcoin Cash remains one of the leading cryptocurrencies (nothing compared to $BTC ) with a focus on fast and low-cost transactions, staying true to Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
