What is bitcoin scalability?

The Bitcoin scalability issue stems from the network's inherent limitation in swiftly and effectively handling a high volume of transactions.

To address this, various solutions have been proposed, one of which is enhancing the consensus mechanisms that govern the validation and inclusion of transactions in the blockchain.

Another proposed solution is the implementation of sharding, which involves partitioning the network into smaller, more manageable segments, enabling parallel processing of transactions and thus increasing overall throughput.

Nested blockchains, or sidechains, are also seen as a potential solution. These allow for the creation of separate blockchains that operate independently but are able to interact with the main Bitcoin blockchain, enabling the offloading of certain transactions to reduce congestion on the main network.

BTCC, a UK-based cryptocurrency exchange, provides comprehensive services to cater to the needs of digital asset enthusiasts. Among its offerings are spot trading, which allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies at the current market price, and futures trading, enabling traders to speculate on future price movements.
