Overview
Bitcoin Cash was created as a fork of Bitcoin to focus on being usable as everyday digital cash. It increased block size to allow more transactions per block, resulting in lower fees and faster confirmations. The network is optimized for payments rather than store-of-value use cases, making it suitable for retail transactions and micro-payments.
