Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of the Bitcoin network that serves as an electronic cash payment system. Its cryptocurrency, bitcoin cash (BCH), was designed to be a more practical cryptocurrency for everyday transactions than bitcoin (BTC). The Bitcoin Cash protocol's larger block size encourages use as a payment system due to its cheaper transaction fees (when compared to Bitcoin).
