Major divide of the Bitcoin Cash cryptocurrency
Following the dispute in the consensus mechanisms, fourth largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin Cash which emerged from the Bitcoin fork in August 2017, was split into two new competing forks (versions). New version of Bitcoin Cash provides the blocks in the blockchain which are considerably bigger than the existing one. This change is reasoned by the ability of blockchain to scale for massive amounts of transaction. Bitcoin Cash is now divided on Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHABC), and Bitcoin Cash Satoshi Vision (BCHSV). Two competing chains are struggling for the majority of hashrate power and to emerge as a winning chain which will attract more users of Bitcoin Cash cryptocurrency.
