How to buy Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a digital currency that offers a solution to Bitcoin’s recent surge in value. Bitcoin was always meant to be a decentralized cryptocurrency. As Bitcoin’s value increased, Bitcoin became more of an investment opportunity than a digital currency. In response to Bitcoin’s 1MB block size limitation, BCH increased the size of blocks to between 8 and 32 MB.

Cryptocurrency is an exciting, new space to get involved in. Find out how to get in on the action.

Because "stablecoins" are often pegged to FIAT currencies with stable values, they are useful tools for currency conversion. Coins such as USDC, USDT and QCAD won't swing wildly up or down in value between withdrawal and funding another account.
