After Ethereum’s Byzantium hardfork last week, we saw a substantial pickup in transaction speed within the Ethereum network. The protocol leapt past Bitcoin in daily transactions processed and dropped their Pending Transaction Queue into the double digits. With this in mind, let’s review the overall impact these changes have had in light of the recent Bitcoin fork to Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Fig. 1 below shows the total daily transactions of both Bitcoin and Ethereum. You can see the sharp incline of transactions graphically and (going beyond the data) feel the speed within Dapps (Decentralized Applications) such as Etheroll, Augur, and SingularDTV.
