What is Bitcoin SV?

Bitcoin SV (BSV) is a cryptocurrency that emerged from a Bitcoin Cash hard fork in November 2018. It aims to restore the original Bitcoin protocol and enable massive scaling with unbounded block sizes.

What problem does Bitcoin SV solve?

BSV addresses perceived deviations from the original Bitcoin vision by restoring the original protocol and removing block size limits for enterprise-scale throughput.

How does Bitcoin SV work?

BSV uses the original Bitcoin protocol with unbounded block sizes (configured by miners). It maintains proof-of-work consensus with SHA-256. The Genesis upgrade in February 2020 restored many original protocol rules.
