In this video, I compare the Bitcoin network's throughput and TPS (transactions per second) to Visa, Fedwire, Solana, and XRP.
The Bitcoin network is a final settlement layer like Fedwire. Comparing it to Visa, where transactions can be reversed 75-120 days later, is an inaccurate comparison.
Bitcoin has done about 3 transactions/second over the past year, while Fedwire has done about 9 transactions/second.
The biggest difference is that Bitcoin cannot be debased or printed or frozen, and the Bitcoin network is permission-less and open to everyone 24/7-- unlike Fedwire.
Bitcoin can continue to scale by increasing the fiat value of each transaction, and by utilizing Layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network, which can do 1 million transactions/second.
