Bitcoin Cash intends to become a reliable worldwide currency with fast payments, low transaction costs, and huge transaction capacity (big blocks). Bitcoin Cash payments are delivered directly from one person to another, similar to how actual money, such as a dollar bill, is handed to the person being paid.

Bitcoin Cash does not require any trusted third parties or a central bank because it is a permissionless, decentralized cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Cash, unlike traditional fiat money, is not reliant on monetary intermediaries such as banks and payment processors. Governments and other centralized corporations cannot censor transactions. Similarly, because financial third parties have no influence over the Bitcoin Cash network, funds cannot be seized or frozen.
