About
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a decentralized cryptocurrency that emerged as a fork from Bitcoin in 2017 to address Bitcoin’s scalability issues, aiming to support faster transactions and lower fees. Designed to be more efficient for day-to-day transactions, BCH increased block size limits from Bitcoin's 1MB to 8MB initially, later expanding further to 32MB, allowing the network to handle a higher volume of transactions at a lower cost. Its ecosystem includes wallet support, merchant adoption, and cross-border payments, making BCH a practical alternative for peer-to-peer digital transactions. Bitcoin Cash has also fostered a community focused on preserving the original vision of Bitcoin as "peer-to-peer electronic cash," prioritizing usability in payments over the store-of-value narrative that Bitcoin has adopted. Its robust development team continues to innovate with features such as Schnorr signatures and new smart contract capabilities, making BCH a unique asset in the cryptocurrency landscape.

Frequently asked questions
-
What are the primary methods for buying Bitcoin Cash (BCH) with Egyptian Pounds (EGP)?
The most common method to buy Bitcoin Cash (BCH) with Egyptian Pounds (EGP) is through peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency exchanges. These platforms act as a fiat on-ramp by connecting buyers and sellers directly. You can typically use local payment methods like Egyptian bank transfers, Fawry, or Vodafone Cash to complete the digital asset purchase. Always use a reputable P2P platform with an escrow service and ensure you complete any required KYC/AML compliance. -
Why is BCH considered a practical alternative for peer-to-peer electronic cash in the Egyptian context?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is designed for high-speed, low-cost transactions, making it an excellent medium for peer-to-peer electronic cash. Its low transaction fees are particularly advantageous for microtransactions, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional banking systems which may have higher fees or slower processing times for small transfers. This makes BCH very efficient for daily digital payments within its ecosystem. -
What key technical difference of Bitcoin Cash should I understand before an EGP/BCH transaction?
Before conducting an EGP to BCH transaction, it's crucial to understand that Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin, engineered for greater scalability. Its primary technical distinction is a significantly larger block size limit (currently 32MB), which allows more transactions per block, resulting in faster confirmations and consistently lower fees. Also, ensure you are using a BCH-specific wallet and the correct 'CashAddr' address format to avoid sending funds to an incompatible address. -
What security practices are essential when using P2P markets to trade EGP for BCH?
For secure trading of EGP for BCH on P2P markets, prioritize platforms with a built-in escrow service. This service holds the BCH until the EGP payment is confirmed. Always verify the counterparty's trading history and reputation score. Communicate exclusively through the platform's official channels to maintain a record, and never release the cryptocurrency from escrow until you have definitively confirmed the receipt of the full EGP amount in your account. -
Can I do more than just hold or trade BCH after converting my EGP?
Yes, the Bitcoin Cash network has expanded utility beyond simple payments. Using the Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP), users can create and manage their own tokens directly on the BCH blockchain. This allows for the development of various applications within the BCH ecosystem, leveraging the network's low fees and fast transaction times, similar to how other blockchains support tokenization.
