Crypto enthusiasts are discussing whether Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash is the real deal. Some even think it is the same. In the following, the article will explain the differences and advantages of both coins.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the first and still by far the most popular of all cryptocurrencies with a current market capitalization of more than 1170 billion USD (as of TODO).

Stock prices were extremely nervous due to the Corona pandemic in recent times.
How should long-term investors deal with the situation? What should we do now? There is only one topic dominating the media at the moment as if there were nothing else.

Ethereum was performing well at the beginning of the year, reaching an all-time high of just under $4,300, but the second-largest cryptocurrency has taken a major hit in recent months in terms of market capitalization.

The Fight Against Climate Change
The industrialized nations agree that by 2050 at the latest, net CO2 emissions must be reduced to zero. China wants to follow suit by 2060. The reality is still different: The growth in total global emissions may have leveled off in recent years, but — except the special pandemic-related development since COVID — growth is still growth. …
After the steep price drop in April and May of this year, during which the bitcoin price almost halved, the cryptocurrency is consolidating in the range between $30,000 and $40,000. However, indicators are suggesting that bitcoin could break out soon. Is there a good buying opportunity waiting?

The world is drowning in stuff. Stuff we hoard in our garage, stuff advertisements make us think we would need, and stuff that gets thrown away and washed into the sea. Stuff that causes billions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
But this stuff isn’t really necessary to live. Often were less happy because of it.
