Bitcoin Cash price analysis: BCH/USD below key support, more downside in store
|- Bitcoin cash is trading below pivotal level $620.00.
- Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn thinks Bitcoin Cash is flawed.
Bitcoin Cash is down over 2.5% on the day in line with general bearish sentiments that overtook cryptocurrency markets since the beginning of Friday. There are no easily identified BCH-specific triggers that might have caused the decline. It's just a heard instinct over there.
Mike Hearn, an early Bitcoin developer, who left the project in 2016, participated in reddit Q&A session after a long time silence, Coindesk reports.
He discussed a lot of topics, including Bitcoin Cash fork. It is worth noting that Hearn himself proposed a hard fork in early 2016, which was voted down.
In terms of Bitcoin Cash, Mike Hearn believes that the coin has many flaws of the original project and is moving the same way.
"Bitcoin cash] strongly resembles the bitcoin community of 2014. This is not good," he wrote.
