Bitcoin Cash effectively split away from the Bitcoin main chain on August 1st, 2017. While there were many concerns over what may or could happen during the split, the transition actually went quite smooth thanks to developers from both forks. Bitcoin has now reached new all time highs. There is much sensible speculation that the Bitcoin Cash UASF fork forced Bitcoin to activate Segwit (a protocol that can fix/do a lot of different things, along with offer higher transaction scalability http://segwit.co/). It is nice to see that some progress is being made on these fronts, and the market is certainly reflecting that progress with Bitcoin reaching new all time highs the past few days. But how will Bitcoin Cash fair?
