06 What Is Bitcoin Cash?
About Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a smart contract platform cryptocurrency ranked #22 by market capitalisation. It has a capped maximum supply of 21,000,000 BCH, of which 96% is already in circulation. BCH currently trades about 92% below its all-time high of $3,785.82.
Bitcoin Cash is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that emerged from a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain in August 2017. The fork was driven by a dispute over how to scale Bitcoin's transaction capacity: one faction favoured increasing the on-chain block size, while the other supported the SegWit approach. Bitcoin Cash implemented a larger block size — initially 8 MB, later 32 MB — to accommodate more transactions per block, aiming to reduce fees and enable everyday payments. It shares Bitcoin's 21 million coin supply cap and uses SHA-256 proof-of-work.
Bitcoin Cash has undergone its own subsequent forks, most notably the November 2018 split that produced Bitcoin SV. BCH has implemented additional features over the years, including the CashAddr format, CashTokens — enabling fungible and non-fungible tokens on the BCH chain — and support for simple smart contracts. BCH's price is influenced by Bitcoin's broader cycles, miner economics tied to the shared SHA-256 algorithm, its competitive positioning as a payments chain, and periodic network upgrades.

09 Bitcoin Cash FAQ & Related Coins
Bitcoin Cash FAQ
Why did Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin?
The August 2017 split arose from a disagreement about scaling Bitcoin. One group, which became Bitcoin Cash, favoured larger blocks for lower fees and higher throughput. The other favoured Segregated Witness and layer-2 solutions. Unable to reach consensus, they split the chain through a hard fork, sharing all history before the fork block.
What are CashTokens?
CashTokens is a 2023 protocol upgrade enabling the issuance and transfer of fungible and non-fungible tokens directly on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. It extended BCH's utility beyond payments using a UTXO-native design, attaching tokens to BCH's existing unspent-transaction-output model rather than an account-based system.
How does BCH's block size affect fees?
Bitcoin Cash's 32 MB block limit lets the network process more transactions per block than Bitcoin, keeping on-chain fees very low during moderate demand. However, larger blocks require more bandwidth and storage for nodes, and critics argue this makes running a full node less accessible, potentially concentrating the network.
What risks should BCH holders consider?
Bitcoin Cash has seen community and developer fragmentation since its 2018 fork, and its market cap and developer activity remain far smaller than Bitcoin. It competes with many low-fee payment networks. BCH's price is highly correlated with Bitcoin, and future consensus disputes could cause additional disruptive chain splits.
Is Bitcoin Cash a good investment?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a volatile, high-risk asset (ranked #22 by market capitalisation), currently trading at $271.70. Whether it suits you depends on your risk tolerance, time horizon and how it fits your wider portfolio. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. This is information, not financial advice.
Bitcoin Cash price prediction: what could BCH be worth?
No one can reliably predict cryptocurrency prices. Its all-time high was $3,785.82, and BCH now trades about 92% below that level. Bitcoin Cash's long-term value depends on adoption, liquidity, regulation and broad market cycles rather than any single forecast. Treat price targets you see elsewhere as speculation, not guarantees.
How do I buy Bitcoin Cash?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) can be bought on major cryptocurrency exchanges that list it. Compare fees, security and supported regions, verify your account, deposit funds, then place a buy order for BCH. For larger holdings, consider moving coins to self-custody.
What determines the price of Bitcoin Cash?
The BCH price is set by live supply and demand across exchanges, and moves with trading volume, liquidity, exchange flows, macro conditions, regulation and overall market sentiment.
