Bitcoin Cash is 49% Centralized?
For the last 24 hours, the rumor in the cryptoverse has been that 49% of the Bitcoin Cash network is centralized. Allegedly, the platform is plagued by node centralization. The information was disclosed by BitPico, the hacker group that promised to attack the Bitcoin Cash network weeks ago.

A Twitter user claimed that the IP addresses were hosted on a cloud farm owned by Alibaba.

The hacker group claimed that the Bitcoin Cash network spends over $102 million on nodes yearly. They also said that Alibaba controls 49% of all the nodes on the network.
Recently, Bitcoin Cash tried to ban four-fifth of all the IP addresses that were associated with the hacked group giving more evidence of centralization. BitPico isn’t the only group that has accused the Bitcoin Cash network of centralization. However, this isn’t good news in a time when the price of the cryptocurrency is struggling.
