Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency created from a fork of Bitcoin, in order to increase the size of blocks and improve the scalability of Bitcoin as a payment method. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) underwent another fork and split into Bitcoin Cash ABC (Adjustable Blocksize Cap) and Bitcoin Cash SV (Satoshi Vision). This split originated because of the two competing Bitcoin Cash camps.

The first camp is supported by Roger Ver and Jihan Wu, who promoted the software version Bitcoin Cash ABC, which would maintain the block size at 32 MB.
