Why did the split happen?
◽️ The split was primarily due to a disagreement within the Bitcoin community about how to scale the network to handle more transactions.
🟠 Bitcoin (BTC) supporters favoured keeping the block size small to prioritize decentralization and security, believing that scaling should happen off-chain through solutions like the Lightning Network.
🟢 Bitcoin Cash (BCH) supporters believed that increasing the block size was essential to allow for more transactions on the main blockchain, making it more suitable for everyday payments.
👨🚀In essence, while both share the "Bitcoin" name, they represent different philosophies on how cryptocurrency should evolve and be used.
