How to buy Bitcoin Cash

BCH

Bitcoin Cash is a version of the original Bitcoin network configured to be easily used for everyday transactions. Although the Bitcoin Cash blockchain is based on the original Bitcoin blockchain, it has some notable differences. A major one is its increased maximum block size of 32MB, compared to just 1MB on Bitcoin. This allows Bitcoin Cash to process transactions faster than Bitcoin, with lower fees and an increased per-second transaction capacity. You can buy and sell BCH for any major cryptocurrency, like BTC, ETH, and XRP or traditional currency such as Canadian Dollar, US Dollar, and Euro. Trading cryptocurrencies is like foreign exchange of traditional currencies – you trade BCH for BTC the same way you trade CAD for USD. You can also trade BCH to CAD based on the BCH price.

Bitcoin cash is a cryptocurrency created in August 2017, from a fork of Bitcoin. It was created to accommodate a larger block size compared to Bitcoin, allowing more transactions into a single block. However, one fundamental difference between the Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash fork and other cryptocurrency forks is that Bitcoin Cash carried out the fork to move away from Bitcoin and not enhance the original cryptocurrency.

You may want to consider buying BCH if you would like to:

Diversify your portfolio by introducing a variety of cryptocurrency assets

Enjoy lower transaction costs owing to its large block size

Exchange it for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin to buy and sell goods online
