Which of the leading cryptocurrencies will become more scalable and efficient in the long term?
Will it be Bitcoin with its Layer Two solutions such as the Lightning Network and Sidechains?
Or Bitcoin Cash with its on-chain scaling solutions by increasing the block size limit?
I would like to know your thoughts about this.
Since its inception, there have been questions surrounding Bitcoin’s ability to scale effectively. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that exists within a network of computers, within the blockchain. This is revolutionary ledger-recording technology. It makes ledgers far more difficult to manipulate for a couple of reasons: The reality of what has transpired is verified by majority rule, not by an individual actor. And this network is decentralized; it exists on computers all over the world. The problem with this technology is that it’s slow. Like, really slow, especially in comparison to banks that deal with credit card transactions. Visa procees 150 million transactions per day, averaging out to roughly 1,700 transactions per second. And their capability far surpasses that, at 24,000 transactions per second. How many transactions can the Bitcoin network process per second? Seven. Transactions take about 10 minutes to process. And as the network of Bitcoin users grows, waiting times will get longer, because there are more transactions to process without a change in the underlying technology that processes them. The latest debates around Bitcoin’s technology have been concerned with this central problem of scaling and increasing the speed of the transaction verification process. There are two major solutions to this problem, either to make the amount of data that need to be verified in each block smaller, making transactions faster and cheaper or to make the blocks of data bigger, so that more information can be processed at one time.

For all we know the bitcoin cash comes out from bitcoin because of Fork’ or ‘Forking’ generally means a kind of software upgrade/update which is done in such a way that it can be backward-compatible or cannot be backward-compatible.(We will talk about compatibility further in this article). In short, ‘Fork’ is just a fancy name for a software or a protocol update, and then there is diamond etc etc. why this is happening because every coins or altcoins ofcourse wants to beat bitcoin but that is not happening for now. bitcoin has established itself for a long time and there are theories that bitcoin can be like an antique in the future
