What are the Main Drivers Behind Positive Bitcoin Cash Movement?

Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash (BCH aka BCC) has been the focus of discussion for many cryptocurrency experts and there are valid reasons for such inquiry. Bitcoin Cash is experiencing significant growth and moving in the right direction right from when the main Bitcoin blockchain hard forked. Let us go through details of how it is performing and also check the reasons which are fueling such positive movement.

Rising Bitcoin Cash Prices
Yesterday, there has been over 18% improvement in exchange rate (BCH/USD) from the low to the high, helping Bitcoin Cash attain $550.00 level with a network cap of about $9.1 billion. As such, it has reached the top 3rd position of cryptocurrencies by their network cap. I use network cap rather then market cap because it is not an equity and does not have earnings.

What is causing the price rise for Bitcoin Cash?
There are several reasons for such a price rise, let us look at them here:
  • The most important reason is that there has been a surge in trading volume taking place on Korean exchanges. In addition to it, the main 3 trading pairs for BCH are with Korean Won plus trading volume for BCH/KRW is nearly $1.5 billion.
  • Another important factor fueling price rises of Bitcoin Cash is the anticipation that network difficulty will go down further and make mining Bitcoin Cash more profitable.
  • Lastly, some people are expecting another split for Bitcoin taking place in near future, Segwit 2x, which will improve Bitcoin Cash’s position.
What are the reasons behind positive movement in Bitcoin Cash?
Let us examine few of the main reasons behind such positive movement.
  • Acceptance by Digital Currency Exchanges: Bitcoin Cash is expected to gain higher popularity as well as experience improvement in trading volumes due to the fact that many digital currency exchanges have started embracing this new cryptocurrency.
One good example is Yapizon which is a South Korean exchange that has started trading Bitcoin cash (BCH) tokens. On similar lines, other virtual currency exchanges in South Korea (such as Coinone and Bithumb) have announced that they will be adopting this cryptocurrency in the coming days.
  • Support Announced by Swiss Private Bank: Likewise, support for Bitcoin Cash announced by a Swiss private bank (Falcon Private Bank) is also going to further improve trading volume.
This support will mean that bank’s customers will now be able to use the functionality and buy, sell as well as hold Bitcoin Cash. More importantly, it will highlight the fact that the financial sector has started viewing cryptocurrency as legitimate store of value and peer to peer cash.
  • Inclusion into Bitcoin IRA: Another piece of positive news for Bitcoin Cash is that it has been included into Bitcoin IRA, which is a US firm that lets US citizens access cryptocurrency in any retirement account that has been approved by the IRS. Users hold funds in Bitcoin IRA until retirement.
  • Support Announced by Bitstamp: On similar lines, the decision by Bitstamp (European Bitcoin exchange) to add support for Bitcoin Cash will also help in improving its position. According to the announcement by Bitstamp, BCH will be receiving three trading pairs which would be BCH/USD, BCH/BTC and BCH/EUR.
  • Transaction costs are lower for Bitcoin Cash: Transaction costs are higher for Bitcoin Segwit and Litecoin.
  • @WintonARK states: The Chinese government prefers Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin. One would postulate that more Chinese will be buying Bitcoin Cash as a result.
Mining of 8MB Bitcoin Cash Blocks
For some time the Bitcoin Cash blocks had been smaller in comparison to Bitcoin blockchain. However, that recently changed with mining of 8MB Bitcoin Cash block by BitClub network.

It is certainly great news for Bitcoin Cash supporters and works as a valid justification for the split that occurred from the Bitcoin blockchain. Additionally, the network cap of Bitcoin Cash is over $8 billion and may move up even further in the next few weeks. Likewise, trading volume is also rising for Bitcoin Cash and is presently at about $1 billion and has been on the rise.

Development teams working on Bitcoin Cash have said someday Bitcoin Cash blocks may be 1GB or larger to accommodate scaling.

Moreover, analysts are expecting network difficulty will move down even further in the coming days, making Bitcoin Cash more profitable to mine. At present, difficulty of Bitcoin Cash is up 1.93% in the past 24 hours.

All these developments are positive aspects for Bitcoin Cash and clearly highlight the fact that BCH is moving in the right direction as well as experiencing good growth.

A New API
Another promising news item for Bitcoin Cash is that an API is presently being implemented for all major web browsers which will allow users to use cryptocurrency for purchasing goods and services. Moreover, this API will facilitate storage of payment information directly within the browser.

This is certainly a positive move signifying greater recognition of Bitcoin Cash and other cryptocurrencies as payment technologies.

As we can see, Bitcoin Cash is certainly experiencing positive movement and is expected to expand even further in the near future. One can anticipate some smaller tokens and coins to have their value stripped out and added to Bitcoin Cash over time due to its superior properties. On a high note, Roger Ver has been quoted as saying Bitcoin Cash is for everyone in the world to use.

Unlocking the Potential of Solana

Image
  In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology, Solana has emerged as a powerhouse, boasting an impressive capability that sets it apart from the crowd – high transactions per second (TPS). In this article, we'll explore what makes Solana a leader in TPS and the implications it holds for the broader blockchain ecosystem. Understanding Transactions Per Second (TPS) TPS is a crucial metric in the blockchain realm, representing the number of transactions a network can process in one second. Traditionally, blockchain networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum have faced scalability challenges, struggling to handle a large number of transactions simultaneously. Solana addresses this issue by pushing the boundaries of TPS, offering a solution that could revolutionize the way we perceive and utilize blockchain technology. The Solana Advantage: Breaking Speed Barriers Solana's claim to fame lies in its ability to achieve incredibly high TPS, far surpassing many of its counterparts. ...

The Possibilities Are Endless With Bitcoin Cash And SmartBCH

Image
  Typically, when we talk about Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and the SmartBCH side-chain we imagine that they are used to create currencies/tokens and trade them on decentralized finance platforms (DeFi) performing swaps, exchanges and farming between different assets, thus earning profits from risk taking. SmartBCH has infinite possibilities and can be used to create Smart Contracts that work and have practical use in the lives of people and decentralized financial entities. What is the SmartBCH side-chain capable of creating? Practically everything. That's right, SmartBCH can clone everything that was made in the Ethereum (ETH) network and even more, creating things that can still be explored using smart contracts created in decentralized blockchains. If for example, we saw finance platforms being born on the Ethereum network like those that created smart contracts and offer decentralized loan services using cryptocurrencies as collateral, the SmartBCH network may also have projects focus...

Black Tuesday

  Image credit to: @marcjonesrtrs See a snapshot of Chinese property sector bonds crashing. This contagion will spread. As my Financial Advisor friend once told me, the bigger the bubble, the bigger the crash. Everything is not well in finance right now. In Bitcoin, I see "Buy the rumor, Sell the news" happening as the Bitcoin Futures ETF launches today. This ETF is NOT good for retail investors. @CryptoWhale As Crypto Whale predicts, Bitcoin will crash just like it did in 2018 when the CME Bitcoin Futures was launched. See image below. @CryptoWhale   If you lived through 2018, then you know the pain I am speaking about. Once the margin calls start, it is too late to get your money out. On the Investment front, I am HODLing GME and SPXS as crash insurance. It is a type of barbell. The fundamentals of GME keep improving daily. Not too mention all of the new hires they acquired from other tech companies recently. You can view the chart to see the GME Tech Hire Database below. A...
