What do you know about Bitcoin and Blockchain technology?
Over the years, the Bitcoin blockchain has proven for being strong. Bitcoin blockchain has even withstood cryptographic verification and adversary attacks, when attracting more investors, users and participants.
Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology Limitations and Challenges
Currently, there are some limitations in the Bitcoin blockchain design. They are as follows:
- The size of the block is about 95 GB and is still growing, since the bitcoin blockchain is preserving the entire records that are linked together.
- The bitcoin blockchain technology is slower at about 7 transaction per second, than the present payment methods like Paypal, SWIFT, or Visa.
- Latency at present consumes over 10 minutes for creating a new block, that results in introducing Latency.
- By design, bitcoin blockchain will be consuming lot of power for performing complex computations as proof of work. In the infograph, you will be exposed to a differing estimates of its power consumption. When compared with the computational power of the 500 most innovative supercomputers that are combined, the computation power of the Bitcoin blockchain computers are eight times more powerful.
- Some of economists may argue that bitcoin might be inflationary in the long run, which results in its downfall. This is based on the given theoretically limited supply of Bitcoin.
- There is a need for Bitcoin blockchain for devising additional, solid computational challenges to keep pace with the quantum jump in computing skills.
- The power of individual miners, in connection with mining pools has diminished, since the mining has become computationally intensive. If this sort of trend continues, there could be a scenario of a monopoly mining pool emerging and overthrowing the basic design of the method. In addition to that, there is a concentration of hash power in a single country, namely China with attendant geopolitical hazards.
- The “open source” which is a Bitcoin software code, is handled and written by voluntary coders who are working independently in an informal self-governing structure, that has been prone to criticism from different walks of life. For the purpose of finding acceptance as an industry utility, its internal organization is required for redefining.
As the legal structures currently stand, the regulatory implications of the revolutionary technology will present was a dilemma for them.
Currently, there are a lot of misconceptions about Bitcoin and blockchain technology by the general public but we hope this infographic would help you shed more light on the way forward.

Artificial Intelligence, whether it is useful or harmful, that is debatable. totally relatable with the words of Stephen Hawking that it can be a blessing or be a nightmare. If it is effective then it will be a history in the field of technology or it can be worse. But its kind of scary that AI might took over our world. although the of design it, sound pretty awesome. Well Good luck for the human race.
Yeah, in your own word, “by the design of it, it sounds awesome”!
That is actually how it sounds and the look you have when you are new to blockchain technology and artificial intelligence.
It could be to our betterment and at the same time, to our extint from this planet if it is misused by the men of the dark.
I mean those in higher places of this world.
Aside that, it will be for our own good.
Especially with blockchain technology, it would be virtually very difficult for this innovative technology to get into the wrong hand, because there are no central servers to its core operating systems.
Hope you get that?
Great Informative Blog sir. Keep up the good work.
useful information
You are welcome Terragreen
Thank you for sharing useful information.
Blockchain and Crypto are our future, we have to believe them.
Great Post, nice written.
Good Job!
Its really an informatic article. I really love this.. Keep posting.
Wonderful, thanks for sharing great information.
Such a awesome interesting article. Keep it up. Waiting for your next article.
I think Bitcoin is really an innovative payment network and a new kind of money that uses peer-to-peer technology and after reading your blog, I have got way more information about it. Thanks a ton.
I do not know much about bitcoin, that’s why i am searching blogs and read and increase my knowledge about it. Now i find your blog very informative and now i can understand the limitation of bitcoin.
Thanks for sharing.
