Cryptocurrency as an industry is massively growing.
While new coins are coming up, existing coins are getting forked. That’s what happened with Bitcoin (BTC) some few months back -> Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Bitcoin Cash was first released on August 1, 2017, at a block height of 478 559 as a product of the hard fork, or branching out from the main Bitcoin network. It was originally created by Roger Ver and other members of the Bitcoin community in an attempt to solve the worsening scalability issues of the original Bitcoin developed by an individual (or a group) under the alias of Satoshi Nakamoto back in January 2009.
