Bitcoin had gone through a few successful Bitcoin hard forks. As a result, more than one digital assets carry the name of 'Bitcoin'. Today, three of top digital assets share the same Blockchain origin - Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH or BCC), and Bitcoin Gold (BTG). Usually, when people refer to Bitcoin, they mean BTC.
