I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not about Bitcoin.

There are separate stack exchanges for other cryptocurrencies.  To the extent that a question is generic or is otherwise of general researchy interest that's great. But altcoin specific stuff is frequently highly toxic and is often a pure waste of time and attention.

@G. Maxwell I agree with that personally, but as long as the site's help text explicitly allows these things, it seems unfair to downvote questions because of it. I've been seeing increasingly more comments/downvotes in this direction, so perhaps we should discuss on meta to change the documentation.

# What is the difference from Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Cash ABC? Its so confusing for noobs

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-01-09)

I haven't been following the silly bitcoin cash fiasco, but I see on coinmarketcap:

Bitcoin Cash ABC
<https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash-abc/>

Bitcoin Cash
<https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/>

What is the difference? And what is the latest news with this silly coin as of today?

Your second [link](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/) says

> In order to reflect the current market, we have merged our Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHABC) listings. We have observed that a majority of exchanges are using the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to refer to the Bitcoin Cash ABC implementation. For more information on Bitcoin Cash SV (BCHSV), please [navigate here](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash-sv/).

Your first link seems to be historical data only.

That is probably [off-topic here](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/help/dont-ask).
