Topic: Too much adoption - page 2. (Read 1568 times)
You can find the “Bitcoin 20MB fork” thread, which discusses precisely this.
So everyone is trying to increase bitcoin adoption in every way possible. But what if people really started to use it in earnest. What if there were 1 million transactions per second. Could the blockchain handle 1 million transactions per second? Seems like that would be far too much data.
Then, we can safely say - don't bother. If we are successful, then we will hit this upper limit and the whole thing will come down again. Why push for wide adoption if it will only result in crushing the system?
What is the upper limit on transactions per second - by estimates of those who really understand this limit?
