Where it came from
In August 2017 a faction of Bitcoin users who wanted larger blocks, and lost that argument, forked the chain. Everyone holding bitcoin at the fork received an equal balance on the new one. The dispute was about whether a transaction should stay cheap on chain or move to a second layer, and both chains are still running the experiment.
What it does
Bitcoin Cash is a proof-of-work chain with substantially larger blocks, intended to keep ordinary payments settling directly on chain rather than through a payment channel network.
What moves the price
- The halving schedule, which it inherited unchanged and which therefore lands at roughly the same time as Bitcoin's.
- Hashrate switching. Both chains use the same mining algorithm, so miners move between them as relative profitability shifts, and a large move changes block times until difficulty adjusts.
- Merchant and payment adoption, the specific claim the fork was made to defend.
- Further forks and governance disputes, which have already split this chain again and each time divided its community and hashrate.
