Bitcoin fork focused on larger block sizes for faster peer-to-peer payments.
Investment thesis: Bitcoin Cash makes a direct case as digital cash for everyday payments — the original vision Satoshi Nakamoto outlined in the Bitcoin whitepaper. Its low fees and fast confirmations keep it competitive for point-of-sale use cases where Bitcoin's fee market makes small transactions impractical. As a Bitcoin fork, it benefits from brand recognition and broad exchange liquidity.
Key risks: Has experienced further contentious forks (Bitcoin SV), which fragmented the community and developer base. Significantly lower hash rate than Bitcoin makes it more vulnerable to 51% attacks. Lacks the developer ecosystem, DeFi infrastructure, and institutional credibility of Ethereum or Bitcoin.
