Bitcoin Independence Day
2024 August 1
Date: August 1, 2017
August 1, 2017 saw the culmination of the Blocksize Wars. Bitcoin Cash split off as a hard fork with the industry and well-known people behind it in order to be able to scale using larger blocks in the main network. But people opted for Bitcoin as it is today to ensure maximum decentralization. This is why the day is celebrated as “Independence Day”.
