Could you please elaborate on the distinction between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash? I've heard about them both, but I'm still somewhat hazy on their core differences. For instance, how do their underlying technologies differ? Also, could you discuss their respective use cases and why one might be more suitable than the other in certain scenarios? Additionally, I'm interested in understanding their market positions and how they've evolved over time. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
