The coin that is performing the best is Bitcoin Cash.

BCH is up 15% and had a bullish week

The split is scheduled for May 15 and it will quadruple the block size from 8Mb to 32Mb. Experts and analysts believe that this will definitely increase overall adoptions because transaction times and costs are reduced.

There’s a full specification of the Bitcoin ABC upgrade that got posted on Github.

The update could also trigger reduced block intervals to 2.5 minutes which is similar to Litecoin. More than that, it could also offer a similar feature to ERC20 tokens based on Ethereum.

BTC advocates claim that the Lightning Network is the best choice while the BCH enthusiasts say that increased block size is a much better reflection of Satoshi’s vision.
