What is Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. It uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Cash is a descendant of Bitcoin. It became a separate currency from the version supported by Bitcoin Core when the two split on August 1, 2017. Bitcoin Cash and the Bitcoin Core version of Bitcoin share the same transaction history up until the split.

What is Bitcoin SV?

Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (SV) is the name of open-source software which enables the use of Bitcoin Cash.

The source code was originally based on the Bitcoin ABC software project.
