in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

In the evening of August 1, a bit of bitcoin happened - the division of the crypto currency into two parts. As a result, there were two crypto-currencies - Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. The second is a new crypto currency, which will compete with the already existing option.

According to Forklog portal, Bitcoin Cash received the same story as Bitcoin, but it will be traded under another ticker. At the moment there is a choice between BCC or BCH. The division of bitcoin is a planned action, it has been discussed for the past few weeks.

Let's remind, Bitcoin Cash has appeared because of disagreements in community concerning the future bitcoin. Some sites were in favor of increasing the block size, which would allow us to scale and develop bitcoin.

At the time of the separation, some of the sites froze transactions in order to wait for the results of the hard-core. According to Forklog, not all stock exchanges plan to work with a new crypto currency. Among those who recognize only one possible bitcoin, Bisq, Bitstamp, Gemini, GDAX and itBit. Work with Bitcoin Cash is ready for Bihumb, Bittrex, Korbit, Kraken, Livecoin, Okex and ViaBTC. Representatives of several sites refrained from acting at the moment and will take a decision later.

Let's remind, earlier representatives of Goldman Sachs have declared, that peak cost бикоин can make $ 3700. Now the classic bitcoin costs $ 2,690.
