FYI: Bitcoin has seen some impressive growth in the latter half of 2017, but all that growth hasn’t been without growing pains. Due to the nature of blockchain tech, the network that underlies bitcoin will never handle transactions with the rapidity of a centralized authority like Visa. Currently the bitcoin network can only handle about 4 transactions per second at maximum capacity, which is unacceptably slow if it’s ever to be used as a global payment system.
