What are bitcoin's limitations?

What are Bitcoin’s limitations ? Bitcoin is facing a number of challenges. These include speed of transaction verification, a lack of privacy, high fees and risk of a 51% attack. However there are solutions currently being worked on to fix Bitcoin's bottlenecks.

How many transactions can a bitcoin process per second?

Bitcoin was originally created to process seven transactions per second. As the digital currency's network grew in size, this limitation proved increasingly troublesome and created steadily rising transaction times and fees.

How does bitcoin limit monetary inflation?

To limit the amount of monetary inflation in the market, Bitcoin must establish a fixed rate of block mining that self-adjusts when more or less mining power is found on the network. Each block is limited to 1MB logical size which, considering SegWit, allows for 2MB or more of raw physical data.

Will bitcoin reach its upper supply limit?

Bitcoin reaching its upper supply limit is likely to affect Bitcoin miners, but how they are affected depends in part on how Bitcoin evolves as a cryptocurrency. If the Bitcoin blockchain in 2140 processes many transactions, then Bitcoin miners may still be able to generate profits from only transaction processing fees.
