Advantages of Bitcoin: A deeper look

By Georg Engelmann | Bitcoin Cash (BCH) | 26 Mar 2025


Bitcoin Cash stands out as a cryptocurrency with fast, cheap and reliable transactions. In addition, it is also more eco-friendly than it's bigger brother due to the lower hash rate requirement.

Fast transfers

Transfers on BCH are usually confirmed within 10 minutes, but merchants can be sure without a confirmation by checking for Double Spend Proofs on the network. This makes Bitcoin Cash an attractive blockchain for peer-to-peer transfers.

Larger blocks

A bigger block size cap makes transactions more reliable: you can be very sure that each transaction will be included in the next block mined.

Small and predictable transfer fees

The BCH community has a silent agreement to always pay 1sat/vByte to get their transactions included in the next block. It is not necessary to "compete" with other transactions on the BCH network due to the higher block size.

User-friendly wallets

Especially, the Electron Cash wallet stands out as a very user-friendly wallet with a built-in privacy feature known as CashFusion. Learn more about Electron Cash on the Electron Cash Wiki. Of course there are several other wallets for BCH such as Stack Wallet (a multi-crypto wallet), Flowee and Bitcoin.com wallet (a multi-crypto wallet) if Electron Cash is not your favorite.

Gambling

Bitcoin Cash is big in gambling. People can play online games like on SatoshiDice or BCH.games and win certain amounts of money if they are lucky.


Future

Bitcoin Cash has its place as a currency for payments and settlements and works as peer-to-peer electronic cash. Many merchants accept it via BitPay or Coinbase. Don't underestimate the power of a cryptocurrency that works reliably.
