anchored·3gMQvM…g7jYSummary
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that forked from Bitcoin on August 1, 2017, at block 478,559, increasing the block size limit from 1 MB to 8 MB to enable higher on-chain transaction throughput. It is classified as a commodity by U.S. regulators and ranked approximately #14 by market capitalization (~$8.8B as of May 2026). The project carries meaningful reputational risk tied to its primary promoter Roger Ver, who was indicted for $48 million in tax fraud in 2024 and reached a deferred prosecution settlement; additionally, the network experienced a contentious hash war in 2018 that split the chain, and Bitcoin.com operated a wallet app and website that allegedly misled users into purchasing BCH instead of Bitcoin.
