One of the most expected updates for Bitcoin has arrived, along with an important announcement from one of the technological giants, generating bullish expectations among investors for the end of the year, despite finding ourselves in a totally mixed market in recent days.
The latest update on the Bitcoin’s blockchain network “Taproot”, has arrived after four long years without any such improvement. This update will provide Bitcoin with an optimization for scripting capabilities. It will also expand the capacity of smart contracts, as well as the security and privacy standards in the network, making it difficult to track each transaction made with BTC. Taproot gives us the option to protect complex transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, which, as already mentioned, will provide greater privacy in the operations carried out, as well as a decrease in their size using the Schnorr signature system.
