Purchase Bitcoin Cash (BCH) with Romanian Leu (RON) easily at Switchere and benefit from fast, secure transactions.
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.
Bitcoin Cash mining rewards halve approximately every four years, decreasing incentives over time and aligning with Bitcoin’s reward structure.
Bitcoin Cash’s value fluctuates based on market demand, while stablecoins are pegged to fiat, providing price stability but lacking growth potential.
Full nodes validate transactions and blocks, ensuring network integrity by maintaining the complete history of the Bitcoin Cash blockchain.
Bitcoin Cash’s scalability goal is to support global, everyday payments by increasing transaction throughput with a larger block size.
Replay protection prevents Bitcoin Cash transactions from being valid on other blockchains, protecting users’ funds during hard forks.
