What is Crypto?

Cryptocurrency is an internet-based medium of exchange which uses cryptographical functions to conduct financial transactions. Cryptocurrencies leverage blockchain technology to gain decentralization, transparency, and immutability. The most important feature of a cryptocurrency is that it is not controlled by any central authority: the decentralized nature of the blockchain makes cryptocurrencies theoretically immune to the old ways of government control and interference. Cryptocurrencies can be sent directly between two parties via the use of private and public keys. These transfers can be done with minimal processing fees, allowing users to avoid the steep fees charged by traditional financial institutions.

What is Bitcoin Cash (BCH)?

Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency, created from a hard fork from the Bitcoin blockchain in 2017. A hard fork is when a blockchain splits, with no compatibility between the two forks. This is a radical change to a network's protocol that makes previously invalid blocks and transactions valid, or vice versa. A hard fork requires all nodes or users to upgrade to the latest version of the protocol software. Bitcoin Cash is designed to be used as a cheap payment system, much in the way Bitcoin was designed to be originally. Transactions fees are generally less than $.01, and transaction confirmation times are significantly less than Bitcoin's, generally within seconds. Bitcoin Cash was created and is maintained by an active community of developers. These developers still see Bitcoin Cash as a necessary alternative to Bitcoin, because in their view, Bitcoin has become more of an investment instrument than a payment system. It was designed as a peer-to-peer payment system that removes regulatory authorities and other third parties from financial transactions. Bitcoin Cash operates on Bitcoin Cash Node, which is an ecosystem that enables users to transact in Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash Node is the blockchain for Bitcoin Cash, and can be thought of as the virtual machine that runs the network, powering transactions.
