Bitcoin Plus (XBC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that aims to provide an environmentally-friendly and user-friendly medium of exchange using proof of stake as its consensus mechanism. Unlike the predominant design of proof of work in peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Plus uses proof of stake to ensure most network security.

Proof of work can face bottlenecks when there are too many transactions, leading to longer confirmation times and higher transaction fees. As a result, Bitcoin Plus primarily limits proof of work to initial minting in its hybrid architecture. Instead, the network relies on the newer consensus mechanism called proof of stake to increase speed and efficiency while lowering transaction fees. This mechanism eliminates the need for high-end computation resources, making transactions more energy-efficient and cost-competitive.

Bitcoin Plus offers a modern and efficient wallet and can be traded on several exchanges. Moreover, 20% of coins are "staked" each year, and proof of stake is used to issue new currencies.

The whitepaper for Bitcoin Plus was authored by Peter Bushnell, based on the Peercoin whitepaper by Sunny King and Scott Nadal. The updated version of the token, Bitcoin Plus 2.7, was launched by its creators. The token has a low start supply and a total supply of one million coins.

Bitcoin Plus aims to provide a more sustainable and efficient approach to cryptocurrency, utilizing proof of stake to increase network security and lower transaction fees. With a modern wallet and several exchanges where it can be traded, Bitcoin Plus provides a user-friendly medium of exchange for users.
