> 7 transactions per second

This has always been misleading. A single block can have thousands of transactions. It's averaging about 4500 transactions per block lately.

You have to remember Bitcoin is a settlement layer. It's final. Money truly exchanged hands. Not so with VISA; there are still multiple days before the banks settle all the transactions. So it would be better to compare VISA to a layer on top of Bitcoin like Lightning, which theoretically can do millions per second.

edit: just gonna delete this because i don't want to argue about it with strangers which is what is bound to happen
