Tokenomics in Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoins are used as peer-to-peer cash and to pay miners for transactions. Miners solve cryptographic puzzles to mine a block and add it to the blockchain (Proof of Work). If a miner presents a block to the network for verification and the network approves the verification, the block is added to the blockchain and the miner is rewarded with currently 6.25 BCH.
