> What is the theoretical limit now?

I don't know what the theoretical maximum is but [this block](https://mempool.space/block/00000000000000001080e6de32add416cd6cda29f35ec9bce694fea4b964c7be) contains 12,239 transactions which means bitcoin briefly processed over 20 transactions per second (12239 / 60 / 10 = 20.39)

Ok, not 12, but 13, or even 14? What is the theoretical limit now?

40 % seems to be a lot, but it is not the number that such FUDs would appreciate, I think.

About 40%

If they merely started saying bitcoin can only do 12 tps, then I would have to point out that 12 tps is also not the maximum -- bitcoin also occasionally does more than 12 tps

So, if now there would be posts talking about 12 tps, everything becomes fine? What's the difference?
