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 following a split from the Bitcoin blockchain. Its design focuses on low-cost payments, and BCH has a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins.
