Frequently asked questions
What is the Bitcoin SV network?
Bitcoin SV and its trading symbol (BSV) are a cryptocurrency that uses the Proof of Work consensus mechanism, just like the original Bitcoin. It was created as a result of a hard fork in the Bitcoin Cash network. According to its developers, it aims to restore Bitcoin’s original vision, or Satoshi’s original vision, by increasing the block size to 4 gigabytes, which increases the number of transactions and enables more transactions per second. The BSV cryptocurrency operates on a decentralized blockchain network, where transactions are verified by miners and recorded on the blockchain. It uses a proof-of-work algorithm, similar to Bitcoin’s, to secure the network and prevent Double-Spending. BSV can be used for a variety of purposes, including peer-to-peer transactions, online purchases, and as a store of value.

Bitcoin SV aims to restore and stabilize the original Bitcoin protocol, according to the vision of its development team, the idea is to provide a stable protocol, much like the stability the Internet protocol has maintained for decades.
