Could you elaborate on the average number of transactions per block in the Bitcoin blockchain? Understanding this metric is crucial for assessing the network's scalability and transaction throughput. Given that Bitcoin is a decentralized ledger, its ability to process transactions efficiently without compromising security is paramount. Knowing the average transactions per block provides insights into how congested the network might be and potential bottlenecks in its scaling capabilities. Could you provide a ballpark figure for this statistic and perhaps elaborate on how it's calculated and interpreted in the
cryptocurrency community?
