    Bitcoin has undergone two major splits, commonly referred to as hard forks. The first split occurred in 2017 and gave birth to Bitcoin Cash, while the second split happened in 2018 and resulted in the creation of Bitcoin SV. These splits were a result of differing opinions within the Bitcoin community regarding the future direction of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV have since established themselves as separate cryptocurrencies, each with its own set of supporters and development teams.
