Bitcoin was the first famous cryptocurrency and it gained all a coin could ask for in a few years only. As its base was developed in 2009, it has some issues with respect to the current growing world.
Around 2013, problems became visible in it like
- It is slow as it can generate a new block every 10 minutes for the blockchain.
- Blocksize is limited to 1 MB
- It could have only 7 transactions per second.
These problems are considered and addressed by developers around 2015 and among them two groups emerged, one of them supported small-block solutions and the other one supported large-block solutions. The group with small-block solutions proposed a hard fork of Bitcoin with a greater block size but not too big and hence much better throughput. This is when Bitcoin Cash was born.
Launched in 2017 by Roger Ver and group, Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin which is much like Bitcoin with an increased block size of 8 MB and hence an average transaction speed of 116 transactions per second. In other words, this is just a form of Bitcoin used for daily transactions such as buying a cup of coffee. Also, the processing fees for BCH are less than BTC.
