More About Bitcoin SV
Bitcoin Cash ( BCH ) developers engaged in a hard fork in 2017, which was a spin-off of the original Bitcoin blockchain. In doing so, the developers were able to create Bitcoin Cash. This was originally initiated to create increasing block size and overall efficiency. Even after the fork into Bitcoin Cash, the community believed more scalability was needed. In 2018, another fork was implemented in order to increase maximum block sizes to 128MB. In doing so, the fork resulted in a new cryptocurrency, Bitcoin SV.
