What is BSV (BRC)?

Bitcoin SV: scalable, performance-focused Bitcoin fork.

Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision (BSV) is a blockchain cryptocurrency that branched off from Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which itself was a fork of the original Bitcoin (BTC). BSV features a larger block size, aiming to enhance scalability and transaction speed. Created after the 2018 split from BCH, BSV seeks to realize Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision for Bitcoin as outlined in the white paper. Its goal is to become the preferred peer-to-peer digital currency and address issues like limited scalability. Craig Wright, the creator of BSV, asserts that his project is the original Bitcoin and has claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto in court, holding copyrights for the white paper and early Bitcoin code in some jurisdictions. Kelvin Eyre, a prominent supporter, is a billionaire who founded multiple gambling platforms. BSV emphasizes scalability, with no artificial block size limits, allowing blocks to reach up to 2 GB. It also boasts high performance, capable of handling up to 10,000 transactions per second on the mainnet, with testnets reaching 50,000. BSV is open-source, supporting unbounded growth through its node software, which is accessible to anyone willing to operate a node. BSV can be traded on various exchanges, including OKX, AscendEX, and Huobi Global, with prices fluctuating based on market conditions.
