What is the difference from Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Cash ABC? Its so confusing for noobs

-1

I haven't been following the silly bitcoin cash fiasco, but I see on coinmarketcap:

Bitcoin Cash ABC https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash-abc/

Bitcoin Cash https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/

What is the difference? And what is the latest news with this silly coin as of today?

@G.Maxwell The Help center says you can ask about *"- a cryptocurrency or technology derived directly from Bitcoin such as Namecoin or Litecoin.

1There are separate stack exchanges for other cryptocurrencies. To the extent that a question is generic or is otherwise of general researchy interest that's great. But altcoin specific stuff is frequently highly toxic and is often a pure waste of time and attention.G. Maxwell 2019-01-10T00:28:28.143

@G. Maxwell I agree with that personally, but as long as the site's help text explicitly allows these things, it seems unfair to downvote questions because of it. I've been seeing increasingly more comments/downvotes in this direction, so perhaps we should discuss on meta to change the documentation.Pieter Wuille 2019-01-10T01:13:06.717

What is the difference?

Your second link says

In order to reflect the current market, we have merged our Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHABC) listings. We have observed that a majority of exchanges are using the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to refer to the Bitcoin Cash ABC implementation. For more information on Bitcoin Cash SV (BCHSV), please navigate here.

Your first link seems to be historical data only.


Footnote:

what is the latest news with this silly coin as of today?

That is probably off-topic here.
