For Bitcoin to grow, transactions need to be processed on a much larger scale. Websites like the BitIQ site make the best utilization of artificial intelligence and perfect trading strategies to help newbie traders in their trading journey.  The developers of Bitcoin Cash realized this and wanted to remove the 1MB block size limit that was put in place by Satoshi Nakamoto when he created the currency.

On August 1, 2017, at 4:06 PM UTC, Bitcoin Cash was created. The bitcoin cash software was released with an 8 MB block size capacity. The fork happened when the median miner block was 478,558. The consensus rule of the protocol is that if this number is reached, the next block will create a new blockchain.

The creation of Bitcoin Cash caused a divergence in the blockchain. After the split, Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash each have their blockchain and transaction history. If you held one bitcoin before the split and had it stored on an exchange or in your wallet, you can access both BTC and BCH. Heading into 2022, it appears that Bitcoin Cash will remain a viable option alongside bitcoin.

Differences between bitcoin gold and bitcoin cash:

Bitcoin cash is both a fork of Bitcoin and a distinct cryptocurrency. Its TPM has not kept up with the demand for transactions, and because of this, users may have to wait in line to confirm a transaction. As a result, it gives lessened confidence in its value as an investment, ultimately driving down prices because transactions do not need to be processed at a high cost to incentivize them.

Because it is a fork of bitcoin, the protocol has inherited its slower speed and high transaction cost, but since the block size has increased, the more expensive transactions have become less common. The network’s adjusted difficulty also helps ensure transactions are processed quickly.

The last difference between bitcoin cash and bitcoins is that Bitcoin Cash has replay protection, meaning that transactions on one chain will not be replicated on another. So, for example, if you own 5 Bitcoins and 10 Bitcoin Cash Coins (BCH), you can no longer spend your 5 BTCs and 10 BCH in one transaction because this will cause a conflict for the miners of both chains. As a result, one of the groups of Bitcoin Core developers has created a new digital currency called “Bitcoin Gold” (BTG). 

What is the supply of bitcoin cash?

There are 21 million bitcoins, and 80 percent of these have been mined. With the current number of miners, it is estimated that the supply of bitcoin cash will also be mined by the end of 2140. 

What is the supply of bitcoin gold?

There are only 21 million BTG coins (no additional ones will be generated). These will never leave the system as there is no supply limit. Because each BTG coin requires an equal amount of work to mine and therefore generates a certain amount of blocks, they are deflationary (scarce). There will be no more than 21 million worth of any remaining bitcoin gold ever created, and their block reward halves every four years until it reaches zero around 2140.

Why could bitcoin cash not take over bitcoin?

Bitcoin Cash is an improvement to the original bitcoin blockchain. It still uses SHA-256, but it has increased its block size limit to 8 megabytes, which makes Bitcoin Cash exponentially faster than the original bitcoin chain. For example, the time to create a new block is only 10 minutes on average, and the time to verify a transaction is 1 minute.

The first big difference between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin is that it has taken an upgrade which makes it infinitely quicker and only requires about 20% of the power that Bitcoin needs for mining. However, bitcoin adoption and trust in the marketplace is much better than bitcoin cash, and the bitcoin name has grown very strong in the last few years.

Bitcoin Cash is an offshoot of the original Bitcoin, created by a hard fork on August 1, 2017. It brings big blocks and low transaction fees; however, it was spun out to be its cryptocurrency instead of being a quick fix to bitcoin’s scaling issues. In the long run, this may be what helps bitcoin stay ahead of other cryptocurrencies. Blockchain technology is developing daily as more people hear about it and want to try it themselves.
