Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) is a fork of Bitcoin that was created in November 2017 to address perceived shortcomings in the original Bitcoin protocol, particularly related to transaction speed and cost. It emerged as an alternative aiming to provide improved performance and security features. BCD accomplishes this by increasing the block size to accommodate more transactions and implementing an enhanced encryption mechanism to protect user data. The project aims to make cryptocurrency transactions more accessible and affordable for everyday users. Additionally, Bitcoin Diamond has a total supply of 210 million BCD, which is ten times that of Bitcoin, thus aiming to ensure more equitable distribution among users.
