Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is the result of the August 2017 hard fork of Bitcoin, with larger blocks (initially 8 MB, now 32 MB) intended to support direct payment use. It maintains a proof-of-work consensus and the same 21M supply cap as BTC.
Why it’s tracked here
BCH has a smaller social baseline but a tightly engaged community. Its sentiment moves on payment- integration milestones and on cross-asset comparisons during cycles when “real Bitcoin” discussions resurface.
What moves social signal
- Halving cycles and resulting hash-rate moves.
- Merchant adoption announcements.
- CashTokens and on-chain application development.
- Exchange-listing or regulatory commodity classification news.
