What is Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that split from Bitcoin on 1 August 2017. Part of the Bitcoin community wanted bigger blocks, so the network could handle more transactions on-chain and keep fees low for everyday payments. When they couldn't agree, the chain divided in two, and anyone holding bitcoin at the time received the same amount of Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash keeps much of what makes Bitcoin work: the same 21 million coin limit, mining with the same SHA-256 algorithm, and a halving about every four years. The main difference is block size. Bitcoin Cash blocks can be up to 32 MB, so each block can carry far more transactions. BCH is Bitcoin Cash's own currency, and it's what you buy when you buy Bitcoin Cash.

What moves the price of Bitcoin Cash?

Like any digital asset, {{ market.name }'s price is set by supply and demand on exchanges around the world. A few things tend to affect it:

The halving

About every four years, the mining reward is cut in half, slowing the supply of new BCH.

Investment products

Applications for exchange-traded funds in the US, such as plans to convert existing Bitcoin Cash trusts into ETFs, can affect demand.

Use in payments

How many merchants and apps accept Bitcoin Cash.

The wider market and the Australian dollar

BCH often moves with Bitcoin and overall market sentiment, and its A$ price also moves with the AUD/USD exchange rate.
Bitcoin Cash's price can move quickly in either direction. Consider buying only an amount you'd be comfortable holding through those ups and downs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I buy Bitcoin Cash with Australian dollars?

Add AUD to your Nexo account using PayID, a bank transfer, or а card. Then go to the Exchange tab, choose Bitcoin Cash, enter the amount, and confirm.

Is Bitcoin Cash the same as Bitcoin?

No. They share the same history up to August 2017, when Bitcoin Cash split off as a separate network with its own coin, BCH. Bitcoin Cash uses bigger blocks to keep payment fees low, while Bitcoin is mostly held as a store of value.

Why was Bitcoin Cash created?

It came out of a long debate about how Bitcoin should grow. Supporters of Bitcoin Cash wanted larger blocks so more transactions could fit on the blockchain at a low cost, and in August 2017, they launched it as a separate network.

How long does a PayID or Osko transfer take?

Osko transfers between participating banks usually arrive in near real time. A standard BECS transfer typically takes 1–3 business days.

Can I buy Bitcoin Cash with a credit card in Australia?

Yes. You can use a Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card, or a card saved in Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Is there a minimum amount of Bitcoin Cash I can buy?

Yes. The minimum purchase is the equivalent of US$10, so you can start with a small amount and buy a fraction of Bitcoin Cash. Some funding methods, such as card payments, may have their own minimums, which you'll see in the app before you confirm.

Do I pay tax on Bitcoin Cash in Australia?

Capital gains tax can apply when you sell, swap, or spend Bitcoin Cash, depending on your circumstances. You can import your Nexo history into Koinly to help prepare your tax report, and a registered tax agent can advise on your situation.
