What are Bitcoin Cash and BCH?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency designed for peer-to-peer electronic cash. In practice, people can use it to send value directly to another person or merchant.
Bitcoin Cash launched in 2017 after a split from the Bitcoin blockchain. Its design focuses on low-cost payments, and BCH also has a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins.
How to buy Bitcoin Cash in Australia
Here's the basic flow in the Crypto.com App:
- Create your account and confirm your email.
- Complete identity verification.
- Fund your account.
- Tap 'Buy' and search for Bitcoin Cash.
- Enter the amount you want to spend in Australian dollars (AUD).
- Check the details and tap 'Confirm.'
What payment methods can you use for Bitcoin Cash?
Australian customers can buy Bitcoin Cash with AUD. Funding options include PayID, debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay or a crypto transfer.
PayID and crypto deposits are free on Crypto.com, though other charges may apply to crypto deposits.
If you fund with a crypto transfer, use the deposit details shown in the App. Trying to deposit a non-supported token may result in the loss of those tokens, and crypto transactions are irreversible.
Can you buy less than one Bitcoin Cash?
Yes. You don't need to buy a whole coin, because cryptocurrencies are divisible.
Australian customers can buy fractional amounts of Bitcoin Cash for as little as AUD 20. Before confirming, double-check that the amount, payment method and asset are the ones you want.
