Flappening is the term used to describe a potential event that could occur in which Bitcoin Cash (BCH) overtakes Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of market capitalization. The flippening, as it is also known, would mark a major milestone for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, as one of the most popular digital assets surpasses its predecessor on the way to mainstream adoption.
The concept was first proposed by Roger Ver – an early adopter of Bitcoin – in 2017 when BCH was created through a hard fork from BTC. Since then, many have speculated about whether or not BCH will be able to overtake BTC’s dominance of the crypto markets.
At present, BTC remains firmly ahead in terms of market cap and overall value but with increased investment into BCH projects such as SLP tokens and other DeFi applications gaining traction within the community there has been increasing speculation that this gap may begin to narrow over time. As more users are exposed to the advantages that come with using BCH over BTC – such as faster transaction speeds, lower fees and support for smart contract capabilities – it becomes increasingly likely that we could see this shift take place at some point soon.
Regardless of whether or not this happens however no one can deny that it would represent an important milestone for both cryptocurrencies if it did indeed occur. In any case investors should remain aware of both coins’ performance and whichever coin they choose to invest their money in they should ensure they do so responsibly and always research thoroughly before making any decisions on where best to allocate their funds accordingly
