With the good Bitcoin market, there are a variety of digital currencies, one of which is called bitcoin cash, we will always be confused, in fact, when I first saw it, I feel the two of them are the same. Do you think they are the same? Can someone give me a professional explanation of what makes them different?

Bitcoin cash is a fork of bitcoin, which had be completed on August 1, 2017, the first fork.
Bitcoin cash is a version of Bitcoin's expansion, but most of it is in the hands of miners.

Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency that exists in this world of cryptocurrency. It is mainly in the use of everything. Everything that existed here is because of this guy bitcoin.

While bitcoin cash is the "forked" bitcoin. By means of forked, it is also an altcoin or known as the alternative coins. The forked existed last August 1, 2017.

interesting!
the "fork off" of bitcoin cash guys were one of the biggest things in bitcoin world which happened in August. and you signed up on bitcointalk on May so you must have known about the most obvious shitshow of the year.

so i was just wondering how come you missed it and how did you even think they are the same? i honestly want to know because i can get a newcomer seeing their advertisements and seeing Roger Ver lie that it is "the real bitcoin" but not someone who has been around!

Lol They are not the same and you don't need any professional or experts to explain to you what is the difference of Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin. There are lots of Bitcoin hard fork coins that have included "Bitcoin" to its name (Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, Super Bitcoin) but there is no other coin that have the same name as "Bitcoin". So what makes that confusing? If you still need a deeper explanation, Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork that have 8 MB block size limit while Bitcoin have 1 MB, Bitcoin have segwit while Bitcoin Cash don't have.

    Bitcoin cash offers lower fees and reliable rate of transaction than Bitcoin.Bitcoin currently has a  larger network  than bitcoin cash. In terms of development both bitcoin and bitcoin cash has the exact same code.

Bitcoin cash is a Bitcoin fork, or a version of Bitcoin that is more stable, has lower fees and faster confirmation times. Bitcoin Cash is pretty much made because people want to mine Bitcoin with the older mining rigs, and that is not possible with Bitcoin. They are pretty much the same, but BTC Cash is more profitable and it is faster.

Just see it this way. Bitcoin is the father, while Bitcoin Cash is the prodigal son. Some devs in the likes of Roger Ver and Co, decided to pull out in what is called Fork since they really do not believe in the idea of segwit (so I think) and they instead preferred a bigger block size. To me, I do not think bigger block size is the solution to scaling anyway, but I guess future will tell, if it did not already prove that with Ethereum and CryptoKittens saga.

not true anymore.
bitcoin cash has the same code with bitcoin up until August of 2017. from that date they split off with only one change in consensus rules: the block size

ever since that day bitcoin has Segregated Witness added and now we are moving on with the second layer transactions and lightning network will soon be ready for mass adoption.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that exists within a network of computers, within the blockchain. This is revolutionary ledger-recording technology. However, with many speculation, many doubt it's scalability. And it's processes are slow. Like, very slow
.  That's why BITCOIN cash is introduced, it is a fork with an increased block chain of 8mb and has faster transactions.Bitcoin Cash was started by Bitcoin miners and developers equally concerned with the future of the cryptocurrency, and its ability to scale effectively. However, some doubt the security of bit coin cash.

Everybody already explained how Bitcoin Cash appeared and when, so I will not pay attention at this pont. At first I was very sceptical about this newbie and accepted it's high price as a game of speculative group of investors, but now, many places started to work withBCC directly and old wallets, like Blockchain.info added it in their list. Now to me it means success, even if it was speculative thing, it could reach something serious and it mean a lot. BCC has a wight in crypto world and we just can't call it as a scam.

Bitcoin cash was created through a fork of Bitcoin. They created this to answer the problems such as slow transactions. The difference between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is the block size. Bitcoin has only one megabyte that allows only 250,000 transactions per day. On the other hand, Bitcoin cash has eight megabyte that can serve two million transactions per day. Despite of that, Bitcoin have too much of a lead to be overtaken.

Differences Bitcoin BTC and Bitcoin Cash BCH For some bitcoin activators, cryptocurrentcy bitcoin cash (BCH) technology is not as Bitcoin (BTC). The thing behind the formation of BCH is the slow ability of Bitcoin to process data transactions on a large scale effectively.

The first one is a legit king of cryptocurrencies while the other one is a scamcoin fork made by scammers in order to set up some false waves of FUD while the BTC is having problems (like spam attacks performed by BCH scammers). They have the same types of addresses so don't mess up sending BTC to BCH address. BCH claims that they have lower fees but if you take the BTC fees at the end of 2017 and split it by 8 (the size of BCH block) the fees will still be big.
Conclusion: store your funds in BTC and if you need bigger blocks then use LTC.

Bitcoin cash is fork of original bitcoin, with some changes in code what gives to icrease block size to 2 4 8 16mb for adding more transactions to block

Bitcoin is the first crypto currency created by satoshi to help people to get independent of banks to send money.It is decentralized.But bitcoin cash was created by a hard fork and roger ver is responsible or its creation.It is fully centralized.Roger ver tried his best to pump bitcoin cash and replace bitcoin.But he failed in his historical pumping attempt.Since it is a forked coin from bitcoin,it has huge marketcap next to bitcoin otherwise it would have been left unnoticed.

BCC isn’t the first fork of BITCOIN though, LTC and subsequently DOGE both were forks before BCC

This is a very cool and bright comparison. Yes, Bitcoin has many children, its forks. One of these forks is called Bitcoin Cash. It is faster and some Bitcoin Cash lovers call it real Bitcoin. But this is not true. Nothing will replace BTC.

BITCOIN is a decentralised peer-to-peer electronic cash system

BCASH is a scam, created at closed door by some individuals to control the whole system




dont forget to give merit if you agree with this

It’s also a major shitcoin that’s just trying to cash in on the name of BITCOIN at this point with its shills

He might have been inactive a lot of noobs just join and keep their accounts dead here

owh, of course they are different, although biitcoin cash is a fraction of bitcoin.
1. different symbols. Bitcoin = BTC and Bitcoin Cash = BCC
2. different algorithm code. such as BTC and LTC are not the same.
3. Different prices and values, thus determining the position of both of them.
4. BTC as the standard price of crypto, not bitcoin cash.

The difference about them is Bitcoin is the mother of all currency while bitcoin cash is the fork of bitcoin core. They have different logo and pretty sure they are not compatible as one. because bitcoin cash is controlled my Roger Ver.

Differences between Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). For some bitcoin lovers maybe bitcoin cash (BCH) is not as familiar as Bitcoin (BTC). The thing behind the creation of BCH is the slow ability of Bitcoin to process data transactions on a large scale effectively.
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency in a computer network or rather a blockchain. Recording technology ledger revolutionary is harder to manipulate because bitcoin verification is done by the majority isn't by individual, it is also because bitcoin network who decentralized and scattered  around the world.

Differences Bitcoin BTC and Bitcoin Cash BCH 1. Bitcoin (BTC) As we know Bitcoin is a digital payment and cryptocurrency system worldwide, called the first decentralized digital currency because it works without centralization or a single administrator.
2. Bitcoin Cast (BCH) BCH is started by miners and Bitcoin developers who care about the future of cryptocurrentcy. These people disagree about the adoption of separate witness technology by Segwit2x which in fact is a company that runs almost 85% of bitcoin transactions worldwide. Bitcoin Cash has implemented an 8mb block size increase to speed up the verification process with customizable difficulty levels.

The only significant differences are Bitcoin cash is a shit coin, that self-claimed to be the 'real' Bitcoin.

The main difference between bitcoin and bitcoin cash is the block size. A block is equivalent to a file storing data on approved transactions, which is uploaded and hooked to the previous file, and makes up the blockchain. Bitcoin's blocks hold 1 megabyte of data, while bitcoin cash holds 8 megabytes.

bitcoin is digital payment systems and cryptocurrency around the world. and his work without system centralization or administrator. If the bitcoin cash to speed up the verification process with adjustable difficulty levels

For the practical intents and purposes of most users, there is very little difference. However, it is imperative to understand that Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are now two entirely separate currencies. Mistakenly sending BTC to a BCH address, or vice-versa, will frequently result in the loss of those funds. Bitcoin is as different from Bitcoin Cash as Litecoin is from Dogecoin.

It is possible to rescue funds if you have accidentally sent BTC to a BCH address, or vice-versa. If this sounds like you, please contact our support team so we can address your specific situation and try to help you get your funds back: support@exodus.io

Bitcoin Cash will tend to have lower fees, but Bitcoin Cash also doesn't have as much community acceptance, so there are fewer wallets and exchanges supporting it compared to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has much greater security and stability, as there is more mining support and infrastructure behind it -  Bitcoin currently has around 10x more full nodes than Bitcoin Cash, and thus a much more distributed network. But the tradeoff is time: Bitcoin transactions tend to take longer than Bitcoin Cash transactions to be confirmed, and have much higher fees.

Bitcoin is the small 1 MB block size limit. This makes it painfully slow, as the currency is said to be capable of processing only seven transactions per second. For comparison, Visa can handle 24,000 transactions in the same time. Bitcoin transactions also take 10 minutes to process and have become expensive because of high demand — the average fee is more than $6.

A group of influential miners, developers, and investors were fed up with Bitcoin’s problems and concerned with its ability to scale. On August 1, 2017, they initiated what is known as a hard fork in the Bitcoin blockchain, which resulted in a new currency being born: Bitcoin Cash.
Bitcoin Cash has a block size limit of 8 MB — eight times more than Bitcoin. This allows it to process more transactions per day, speed up processing times, and reduce fees. Transaction fees come in at around $0.20, making them much cheaper when compared to those of its rival. But they will increase once more people start using the currency.
When it comes to speed and price for Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Cash has an advantage over Bitcoin. It is becoming extremely popular among users and has been increasing in value even since its introduction. But like Bitcoin, it has its share of problems. The increased block size could have a centralizing effect and reduce the attack resistance of the network. Bitcoin hasn’t been around for long, so we’ll have to wait until it sees more daily transactions to find out if that will actually happen.

So in comparing Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash, the truth is Bitcoin Cash is not better or worse than Bitcoin. It’s just different. The two can co-exist on the market, along with many other cryptocurrencies including Ripple and Ethereum, to name a few. But the important thing to remember is that despite having similar names, they are two entirely separate currencies.

Currency cash is bifurcate of COINS, but the currency cash also has a lot of support, and BCH price is also high, while the currency cash can't be more than the market value of the currency, but the long term, the currency cash should be able to stay in the top 10.

Theres a big different in this two crypto currency bitcoin cash is just a shell of bitcoin that they have been change some of its feature when you are mining this coin you can mine more than the regular bitcoin. They also said that bitcoin cash is more faster than bitcoin when it comes in mining the coins its because of the block size that they update a few months ago. And also bitcoin cash is just also an altcoin a shell from original bitcoin so they cant be the same forever.

Actually bitcoin cash is a coin that is generated from the bitcoin fork experiment.
In a article I read that hard fork in bloclchain technology mostly results into split in the algorithm chain and that results into two chains , both of the chain are for the coin but one of them will be old and another one will be new .
Same thing happened with the bitcoin fork and that splits made the bitcoin cash and after that we are using bitcoin cash for the earnings as investment like better altcoins with better technology ( Because bitcoin have better technology ) 
As people have better trsut with the bitcoin so they are also have trust with bitcoin cash like bitcoin and that is the reason that why the price is high of bitcoin cash in comparison of another altcoins .

bitcoin is the parent of bitcoin cash . bitcoin cash was born because of the fork happen to bitcoin. and now they are saying that bitcoin cash is the new bitcoin.
fork is a upgrade on bitcoin technology behind block in order to have a much more good product faster transaction etc to bitcoin. and as that happen a new genrated coin will produce and it is the bitcoin cash

Bitcoin is the first digital coin ever created and have struggled for so many years to achieved its highest price while Bitcoin Cash is the result of bitcoin fork meaning it is created under Bitcoin itself. Another difference between the two is obviously its price.

Bitcoin (BTC) is bitcoin while Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is altcoin.

Noob question, so why is increasing the block size that BCC have done not the way to go? Considering that it have improved transaction speed and reduces costs?

I saw BCC being whale-pumped a while ago, and XRP too, and I have dumped them for more NEO, XLM and ADA, as I  could not find any logical reasons why BCC should increase that sharply over the other coins. Expecting a similar whale-dump anytime once the required trade volume at the new price have been reached plus perhaps if its further pumped by FOMO.

Bitcoin Cash was created as a solution to the long-awaiting debate in the Bitcoin community in regards to the Bitcoin scalability issue. The Bitcoin Cash proposes incorporates the simple solution. While the block size limit of Bitcoin stands at one megabyte, Bitcoin Cash has pushed the limit to 8 megabytes. This allows for a greater number of transactions processing perBut like Bitcoin, it has its share of problems. The increased block size could have a centralizing effect and reduce the attack resistance of the network. Bitcoin hasn’t been around for long, so we’ll have to wait until it sees more daily transactions to find out if that will actually happen.

BTC is way better than a shit coin, BCH is a trap and if you want to loss your money then invest on it. Always study the coin that you want to buy because not all high in value offers great services behind a great team and the best example is the BCH. BCH is controlled by its people and its too risky cause they can manipulate the price of it and you will ended up losing the money.

Ahh thanks for the answer. Yes the centralizing effect and reduced attack resistance imo isnt an acceptable compromise IMO. Especially with the coming of Quantum Computers!!! But guess we will see which one will succeed, since it is all down to adoption. BTC definately would need to innovate quickly to catch up in terms of transaction speed and especially cost if it is to stay on the iron throne IMO, with the stiffening competitions, especially vs. LTC (also another simple coins that aims to function simply as a currency, w/o all that ICOs and alt features).

BCC seem to have a well coordinated dev team behind it now I believe. I wonder how is it for BTC in this regard? I guess with its popularity, the number of ppl working on BTC improvement should easily be bigger? But I guess for those who have a stake in BTC (holders and miners) to come to a consesus would also be a lot trickier, or so I have read. At least nothing is rushed, hopefully.

Bitcoin has much greater security and stability, as there is more mining support and infrastructure behind it. While Bitcoin Cash will tend to have lower fees, but Bitcoin Cash also doesn't have as much community acceptance, so there are fewer wallets and exchanges supporting it compared to Bitcoin. 

I was wondering what the difference were. So it basically is more miner friendly. Now I have to find out why that is so.

Bitcoin <BTC> is the original coin. The Adam in the paradise, then Eve was created from a piece of Adam, which was called Bitcoin Cash. <Eve was corrupted by some greedy scammers, because they wanted to rule the paradise> Now, these scammers are calling Eve the original coin, but Eve was not created first, so she will never be the original coin.

So Bitcoin Cash or BCash or BTrash or BCrash, will always be seen as a scammer in paradise. ^lol^

The initial version was created by satoshi nakamoto, yes. They became inactive and many developers have come and gone. Developers used to largely be the open source developers that were passionate about Bitcoin. Bitcoin Core (the one there was before the fork) is largely funded by a company called Blockstream.

Bitcoin is, like any open source project, ongoing and constantly being improved. Just because a project has well defined code doesn't mean it can't be improved. Hard forks like this have happened in the past, however they were less contentious and didn't create separate currencies like this.

The 1mb blocks of Core are almost always full with 100k+ transactions always waiting to be added to a block and fees being upwards of $5 right now to send any amount of money. A large group of Bitcoin supports wanted a block size increase to handle this, some wanted SegWit, and some wanted both (albeit with a lower block size increase). The block size increase obviously solves both the throughput and fee issue without being complicated, SegWit solves it by allowing transactions to be done off chain and SegWit transactions taking less space. The combination obviously does both.

LoL so you mean is a bad guys in main story of bitcoin world here? Its funny to read your story about good and bad. As far as i understand bitcoin cash was created as a answer of a fastest transaction in a way of using a bigger blocks thats how i understand correct me if im wrong.

Hi,

It is actually difficult to explain the difference simply... Bitcoin cash has been created after a fork, so for some it is the only "true" version of bitcoin. Mainly because they had invested before the fork and thus got some for almost free.

Bith are cryptos, both can be used for disruptive investment and both should be rather thought as long-term assets. For me, that's the most important! ;)

BCC has been invented as a result of folk of Bitcoin. But basically they are acting as two different coins in the market. Thats the fact their behavior is not similar as they have same type of names :)

Bitcoin is the original one cryptocurrency but slow at processing transactions while Bitcoin Cash is an offset of Bitcoin but slightly more practical than the latter for it's primary focus is to provide faster payments to anyone in the world.

Confusing in names, in my opinion, gives Bitcoin cash more of original bitcoin charisma and a marketability.
Besides, it just provides an alternative solution  to a scaling issue. Bitcoin cash seems to be less  volatile, with cheaper fees and little time of transaction processing. This solution is backed with 8 MB block size. Appeared as a fork of Bitcoin, it is now promoted as a separate altcoin, like it or not.

Bitcoin is ranked among the top paid currencies in the virtual currency industry, with Bitcoin as a vital daily place, where Bitcoin is not acceptable. get the profits in the business and ban it as a violation of law, my country also forbidden Bitcoin but still many participants

Differences Bitcoin BTC and Bitcoin Cash BCH - For some bitcoin activators cryptocurrentcy bitcoin cash (BCH) may not be as Bitcoin (BTC). the thing behind the formation of BCH is the slow ability of Bitcoin to process data transactions on a large scale effectively.

Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash has different perspective and goal in cryptoworld.Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that exist within a network of computers and within the blockchain.While Bitcoin Cash was started by bitcoin developers and miners and it has implemented to increase blocksize.

Well, there is not much difference, but they are two completely separate currencies. BTC is much more saturated, but with higher fees and Bitcoin Cash will tend to have lower fees when both networks are loaded with transactions, but also doesn't have as much community acceptance, so there are fewer wallets and exchanges supporting it compared to Bitcoin.

Hope this helps!
