What is Bitcoin Cash?

In 2017, a group of developers looked at increasing Bitcoin's (BTC) block size limit prepared a code change. The change, called a 'hard fork' in the industry, took effect on 1 Aug 2017. As a result, the Bitcoin ledger called the blockchain and the cryptocurrency split in two.

At the time of the hard fork anyone in possession of Bitcoin was also in possession of the same number of Bitcoin Cash units. The technical difference between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin is that Bitcoin Cash allows larger blocks in its blockchain than Bitcoin, which in theory allows it to process more transactions per second on its Blockchain.
