Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the original decentralized, programmable cryptocurrency and market leader, and was launched in January 2009 by anonymous developer(s) using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins. The supply is dis-inflationary, with the rate of production halving roughly every four years or 210,000 blocks.
Bitcoin Cash
 Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin that emphasizes increasing throughput on-chain, not off-chain.Bitcoin Cash introduced a new difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA) through a hard-fork that has resulted in ~90,000 more BCHs in existence in comparison to BTCs.
Chia
Chia is an upcoming cryptocurrency led by Bram Cohen, the creator of BitTorrent and former developer at MojoNatio and is marketed as a “better” version of Bitcoin that can be more distributed, more secure, and greener. Mostly unknown to the public. Mini pre-IPO. Plans to offer equity to public, non-accredited investors, potentially distributing part of its massive pre-mine to share holders. Permanently inflationary.
Ethereum
Ethereum is a virtual computer spearheaded by Vitalik Buterin. It aims to be a “decentralized world computer” by offering a more extensible, (nearly) Turing-Complete smart contract capability in comparison to Bitcoin Script’s Turing-Incomplete smart contracts.The exact monetary policy is not currently known. Eventually, Ethereum is expected to have either a 0.5%-2% inflation rate per year or a hard-cap of ether.
