Why Use Bitcoin Cash?
Send Money Anywhere In the World, Almost for Free
With Bitcoin Cash, you can send money to anyone, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Like the Internet itself, the network is always on. No transaction is too big or too small. And you never need anyone's permission or approval.
Be Your Own Bank and Have Full Control Over Your Money
When you hold Bitcoin Cash, you hold your own money, not a promise from a bank. No institution can freeze your account, block your transactions, or seize your funds. History has shown that bank deposits are only as safe as the policies of the day. Bitcoin Cash gives you full, sovereign control over your funds, accessible from anywhere in the world.
A Scarce Digital Currency with a Known, Fixed Supply
The Bitcoin Cash protocol ensures there will never be more than 21 million coins in existence. Unlike government-issued currencies, which can be printed without limit, Bitcoin Cash has a fixed supply, making it a form of sound money designed to hold its value over time.
Protect Your Financial Privacy
Bitcoin Cash provides greater financial privacy than traditional payment systems like bank transfers and credit card payments. With no central authority monitoring your transactions, you have more control over your personal financial information. As with any tool, the level of privacy depends on how it's used. Learn more about best practices to make the most of it.
Built-In Token Support
With CashTokens, Bitcoin Cash natively supports both fungible and non-fungible tokens directly on the blockchain. Build decentralized applications, issue digital assets, or create new token-powered projects, all secured by the same proof-of-work that protects Bitcoin Cash itself.
Support Freedom Worldwide
Bitcoin Cash is a permissionless, open network. Anyone can participate without needing approval from a gatekeeper. It's decentralized, voluntary, and accessible to all. As adoption grows, Bitcoin Cash continues to expand economic opportunity for people around the world.
Benefits for Merchants
Ultra Low Fees
The network fee for a typical Bitcoin Cash transaction is less than one penny. Merchant processors can convert BCH to local currency at rates far lower than credit card processing fees.
No Chargebacks
Bitcoin Cash transactions are final once confirmed. Merchants don't face unexpected voids, refunds, or chargeback fraud, a significant cost savings compared to credit card processing.
Global Reach
Bitcoin Cash works the same everywhere. No currency conversion, no international wire fees, no banking hours. Accept payments from customers in any country, 24/7, with the same low fees.
Easy Integration
Accept Bitcoin Cash through a growing ecosystem of payment processors, point-of-sale solutions, and open-source tools. Integration is straightforward whether you run an online store, a brick-and-mortar shop, or a freelance business.
The History of Bitcoin Cash
In October 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published the whitepaper Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System
. The following year, the Bitcoin network launched and operated smoothly with low fees and fast, reliable transactions.
As Bitcoin grew in popularity, a debate emerged within the community over how to scale the network. One side favored keeping blocks small and positioning Bitcoin as a settlement layer. The other believed in scaling on-chain to preserve its utility as everyday electronic cash.
On August 1st, 2017, the chain split at block 478558 and Bitcoin Cash was born, carrying forward the vision of affordable, peer-to-peer electronic cash for the world.
Since then, Bitcoin Cash has continued to evolve. CashTokens brought fungible and non-fungible tokens natively to the protocol in 2023, and the Adaptive Block Limit Algorithm (ABLA) activated in 2024, allowing the network to scale dynamically with demand.
Decentralized Development
With multiple independent teams of developers providing software implementations, the future is secure. Bitcoin Cash is resistant to political and social attacks on protocol development. No single group or project can control it. Multiple implementations also provide redundancy to ensure that the network retains 100% uptime.
The bitcoincashresearch.org website is a good venue for making proposals for changes that require coordination across development teams. For those wishing to implement changes to the Bitcoin Cash protocol, it is recommended to seek early peer-review and engage collaboratively with other developers.
