Bitcoin transaction processing takes up to 10 hours
This may be a little unpopular here, but I really appreciate the conservative approach by the Bitcoin core team. There&#x27;s a lot of cryptocurrencies out there and Bitcoin&#x27;s dominance is from its long history and staying power. Bitcoin needs to have a near majority of agreement for any breaking change or else its risking its own dominance. Hopefully, transaction fees become less over time, but regardless they&#x27;re necessary to prevent spam. No matter how big of blocks you have, you&#x27;re always going to have a spam problem and the Bitcoin forks have yet to show how bigger blocks will mean faster transactions.
