Bitcoin cash, which many exchanges have begun using to refer to the bitcoin cash ABC implementation, and bitcoin SV, which failed to win control of the bitcoin cash name, have both plummetted since late November, falling harder than the rest of the embattled cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin SV has failed to rally as strongly most other major coins this week, with the original bitcoin, ripple (XRP), and ethereum, climbing. Bitcoin cash has lost a whopping 45% of its value since late November, while bitcoin SV has dropped 35%. However, the bitcoin cash price has risen sharply in the last 24 hours, adding some 25%, according to CoinDesk data. Trouble for bitcoin cash, which split from bitcoin in August last year, began in November when two teams of developers and miners failed to agree on a direction to talk bitcoin cash, with the row centered around the same thing that split bitcoin cash from bitcoin in the first place—block size.
