Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
C$330 (US$250)
November 18, 2019 2:00 pm
â– BCH News:
• Bitcoin Cash experienced an expected hard fork last week when a
disagreeing mining pool, or perhaps one that had forgotten to upgrade
their software, did not fork with the planned Bitcoin Cash fork creating
a rogue chain.
• However, as per the stated Bitcoin Cash internal rule in such a
scenario, the chain with the longest history is given trusted ledger
status thereby invalidating the rogue chain.
â– Trading History YTD:
• Somewhat similar to the trend in the price of BTC, the price of BCH
ground sideways for the first quarter of 2019 before experiencing a
price spike in early April.
• The price of BCH has trended sideways since the beginning of April
in
USD terms and negatively in BTC terms over the same period.
â– Current Environment:
•
Again mirroring the price of BTC, the price of BCH trended sideways
and closed negatively over the course of the week last week.
• Volumes were lower week-over-week, averaging 6.21 million coins
per
day compared to the previous week
‘s 7.54 million coins per day.
