Bitcoin Cash is a successful split of the mother of all cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin. After a hard fork, Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash both went their own way, but they do share the same history of bitcoin. A hard fork is a split of the blockchain, the transaction network on which bitcoin runs.

Bitcoin cash originated from that hard fork on August 1, 2017. Since then a lot has happened regarding the bitcoin cash price, let’s take a look!

• The arrival of Bitcoin Cash was announced at the end of July 2017 and that’s when the speculating began. Even though bitcoin cash wasn't even on the market yet, it was already worth 500 dollars (448 euros) on July 24. Think of it as pre-ordering your favorite game. You couldn't buy bitcoin cash just yet.

• On August 1, 2017, bitcoin cash originated and was released to the market. Almost immediately after, the value quickly dropped to 274 euros.

• Just one day later the price bounced back up again to 628 euros, a true rollercoaster.

   

The bitcoin cash price is simply determined by supply and demand. Buyers and sellers find each other on online cryptocurrency exchanges. The price of bitcoin cash is adjusted based on supply and demand. This is done in real-time, every second of the day.

An increase or decrease in demand could be caused by several factors, like the news for example. Bitcoin Cash has a loyal and strong community that actively responds to the latest news from their favorite cryptocurrency.

Good news can therefore cause the price to increase. For example, in April 2018 an upgrade of Bitcoin Cash was announced. Part of the upgrade were larger transaction blocks. Investors became very enthusiastic about the update which sparked a price increase of no less than a thousand euros.

On the flip side, bad news usually causes the price to drop. In November of 2018, Bitcoin Cash split into Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV. This new hard fork created a lot of uncertainty within the community, which caused the price to fall from 500 euros to 68 euros. Being a crypto trader sure requires some nerves of steel!
