Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) is a hard fork, a branch of the foremost Bitcoin cryptocurrency, designed to solve a certain range of problems that are currently present in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. This altcoin was launched and began its development when the Bitcoin network reached block height 495,866. This is the third major Bitcoin Airdrop that users received in 2017, not counting the B2X coins from the launched SegWit2x. 2017 was quite profitable for BTC holders.
The main objective of the Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) hard fork is aimed at improving privacy. It seems that the hard fork's developers have found a way to encrypt transaction amounts and the balances of all BCD users. A similar approach to privacy is also implemented in the Monero cryptocurrency.
