Bitcoin Cash was founded by bitcoin miners and developers equally concerned with bitcoin's future and scalability. Nevertheless, they expressed reservations about the use of segregated witness technology. They argue SegWit2 does not adequately address the issue of scalability, nor does it adhere to the road map established by Satoshi Nakamoto, the unidentified party who first introduced the blockchain technology underpinning cryptocurrency. Moreover, the process of implementing SegWit2 as a path forward was anything but clear, and there were concerns that its implementation would weaken the currency's decentralization and democracy. Miners and developers initiated a hard fork, creating a new cryptocurrency: BCH. With one significant distinction from bitcoin, BCH operates on its own blockchain and adheres to its own specifications. It uses a block size of 8 MB to speed up the verification process, and a changeable difficulty setting to ensure the chain's durability and transaction verification speed, regardless of the number of miners backing it. Despite the quadrupling of the Bitcoin Cash block size to 32 MB in 2018, real block sizes have remained a modest fraction of the 32 MB limit.
