work stick around for five years. That is much longer than people initially expected it to. Unfortunately, the network never lived up to expectations and continues to lose ground in core metrics. As a fork of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash is unlikely to ever succeed in posing a threat to the world’s leading cryptocurrency, let alone surpass it. The networks of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash split on August 1, 2017, at network block #478559. The reason for this split was the activation of Segregated Witness – and the Lightning Network – on Bitcoin. Moreover, Bitcoin users aimed to keep network blocks small in size, whereas others wanted bigger blocks to support more transactions. With the support of Bitmain and other parties, the goal was to fork Bitcoin to 8MB blocks on a different chain. From that date forward, Bitcoin Cash became an altcoin of which there are a dime a dozen. Although it offered bigger network blocks and lower transaction fees, it was never appealing to miners and ultimately started fading into obscurity. The network still exists today, though, as BCH trades at $138. Unfortunately, that is under 1% of the Bitcoin value, further confirming how this network has lost all initial momentum. Moreover, it has not seen its all-time high of $3,785 since December 20, 2017, and is unlikely to return to such a value. With such a low price, one has to wonder if Bitcoin Cash was a worthwhile venture. It is essential for people to pursue new ideas they think will work, but claiming BCH “is the new BTC” was designed to fail from day one. The community and market have spoken in the past five years and relegated Bitcoin Cash to the lower market cap rankings most people won’t even scroll down to. Moreover, several of its network statistics indicate things will not necessarily improve soon. Core BCH Statistics Are Gloomy As Bitcoin Cash relies on Proof-of-Work like Bitcoin, it needs miner support to secure the network. Whereas Bitcoin has over 99% of the combined hashrate – of BTC, BCH, BSV, and XEC – Bitcoin Cash represents 0.57%. That percentage is in line with the value of Bitcoin one BCH has, confirming some overlap between the two. Moreover, it represents 1.35% of the overall transactions and 0.16% of the block sizes. Bitcoin SV , forked from Bitcoin Cash, beats its “parent” hands down in those two segments.(this is quotation) #BitcoinCash #Photography #NoiseCash
