“Imagine if Visa could only process 7 payments per second for the entire world. Every time you buy coffee or shop online, you’d have to wait in a long line. Bitcoin (BTC) has this problem because its network can only handle 7 transactions per second — way too slow for global use.

When too many people use it, fees get really expensive, and transactions take a long time to confirm. For example, imagine paying $50 in fees just to send $5 — that’s what happens when BTC gets busy.

Now think about how billions of people and businesses want to make payments and run apps on a blockchain. BTC simply can’t handle that scale. A system like that is like using a toy car engine in a real car race — it breaks under pressure.”
