What Is Bitcoin Cash? Bitcoin Cash is meant to alleviate some of the lag in transaction time that Bitcoin has experienced over time. In order to reduce spam and fraud with Bitcoin, Bitcoin was originally launched with something called a 1MB block.1 This was fine at the beginning, but as the currency became more and more popular, it meant that the transaction times for using or buying Bitcoin started to lag tremendously. The 1MB limit means that Bitcoin is extremely limited to the number of transactions it can process per second. And lagging transaction times present huge obstacles to scaling. This limitation is why Bitcoin Cash was developed with a significantly bigger block. Bitcoin Cash has an 8MB block. Think about it like building an offramp on the Bitcoin highway. That offramp then goes to an express lane that only carries high-capacity vehicles. This allows many more transactions per second to be processed on Bitcoin Cash than on Bitcoin itself. #SpreadBCHAwareness #NoiseCash
