Introducing Bitcoin Cash & Bitcoin Gold to Beginners
Bitcoin Cash was created in August 2017 following a “hardfork” of the Bitcoin protocol. The Bitcoin blockchain can not adapt to a large number of requests and users without there being any impact on the speed and costs of transactions.
Bitcoin Gold (BTG)
Bitcoin Gold is a fork of the Bitcoin network aimed at solving the problem of centralizing miners. This fork took place in October 2017, at block 491407. The developers took what is called a "snapshot" of the blockchain.
