Seven weeks have gone by since the blockchain split last August 1, and the Bitcoin Cash network continues to grow stronger as more supporters rally and build infrastructure around the protocol.

The Bitcoin Cash cryptocurrency and network was the product of the hard fork event, when a group of miners—who have lost confidence in the SegWit2X proposal—decided to take the matters into their own hands and split off from the main Bitcoin blockchain.

And Bitcoin Cash has been forging ahead since then.

At the time of writing, over 8,000 blocks have been processed since the blockchain split, and the Bitcoin Cash chain is 1,200 blocks ahead of the legacy chain. It is currently 13.5 percent more profitable to mine BTC, but profit parity has been close and consistent for the past two weeks.
