Why is Block Size Important?

Modified on Tue, 4 Mar at 10:23 AM

The block size determines how many transactions can be stored in a block. A larger block size increases transaction capacity but can also lead to centralization issues, as more storage space and computing power are required.Bitcoin has a block size of 1 MB, which can result in slower transactions and higher fees. To address this issue, variations like Bitcoin Cash were created, which use a larger block size of 32 MB to process more transactions per second.
