ZUG, Switzerland, June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitcoin Association , the Switzerland-based global industry organisation that works to advance business with the BSV blockchain and digital currency, has confirmed that the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain surpassed BTC in accumulated data size, demonstrating the ability of the Bitcoin network to scale without limits.

Key Points: 
  • ZUG, Switzerland, June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitcoin Association , the Switzerland-based global industry organisation that works to advance business with the BSV blockchain and digital currency, has confirmed that the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain surpassed BTC in accumulated data size, demonstrating the ability of the Bitcoin network to scale without limits.
  • On May 16, 2021, the accumulated growth (in data size) of the BSV blockchain surpassed the BTC blockchain for the first time, with the total data stored on-chain reaching 352.9 GB on the BSV network compared to 352.4 GB on the BTC network on that date.
  • The continued data growth of the BSV blockchain can be attributed to its decision to follow Bitcoin creator's Satoshi Nakamoto's vision to scale unbounded; with no limit on the default block cap size (and thus the transaction volume and data capacity) on the BSV blockchain.
  • The Association supports use of the original Bitcoin protocol to operate the world's single blockchain on Bitcoin SV.
