Bitcoin cash was created in 2017 as a result of a hard fork to improve Bitcoin’s scalability. Bitcoin miners and developers were concerned with Bitcoins ability to scale effectively. Bitcoin Cash was considered a continuation of Bitcoin and created as a peer-to-peer digital cash platform. The aim was to scale Bitcoin Cash so it can meet the demands of a global payment network. The Bitcoin network can only process seven transactions per second. However, with Bitcoin Cash’s larger block size, the decentralised currency can now handle significantly more transactions per second.
