(JUBA) – Bitcoin Cash (BCH) will host a community meetup in Juba on 24 January 2026 from 12:00 to 14:00 UTC. The event, titled the BCH South Sudan Meetup 2026, aims to provide a forum for discussion on recent developments in the cryptocurrency sector and regional adoption trends.
The session is expected to attract local cryptocurrency enthusiasts, investors and businesses interested in understanding the practical use of Bitcoin Cash in South Sudan and the wider region. Organisers say the meetup will offer an opportunity to learn about transaction processing, scalability, and the future of BCH adoption locally.
Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency created in August 2017 as a result of a hard fork from the original Bitcoin network. The fork was conducted to increase the blockchain’s block size, enabling the network to process more transactions per block and reduce waiting times.
Currently, Bitcoin Cash supports a maximum block size of 32MB, which is eight times larger than Bitcoin’s block size. This allows BCH to handle more transactions in a shorter period and significantly lowers transaction fees, making it more practical for everyday use and business transactions.
However, experts note that the larger block size requires more computational resources, which could lead to greater centralisation of mining activities. This is an issue that investors and developers monitor closely as the network continues to grow.
The Juba meetup will also serve as a networking platform for local developers, entrepreneurs, and investors to exchange knowledge, discuss challenges and explore the potential of cryptocurrency adoption in South Sudan.
