Bitcoin, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, will undergo a major upgrade soon. The Taproot upgrade will turn things around for BTC and investors as well. BTC will undergo this upgrade on the 709,632nd block, on Saturday, as per the latest data.

First Bitcoin upgrade since 2017

The first Bitcoin upgrade took place in the year 2017, which installed the Segregated Witness (SegWit) upgrade on the Network, eventually leading to the launch of the Lightning Network in the year 2018. The Taproot proposal was originally proposed by BTC core contributor and former Blockstream chief training officer Gregory Maxwell on Jan 23, 2018. 

The SegWit upgrade was aimed to improve the scalability of the Bitcoin network, while the Taproot upgrade is aimed to improve the efficiency of the transactions and privacy of the Network. Another goal is to enhance the Network's capability to support smart contract projects. 

The upgrade was confirmed on June 12 by developer Hampus Sjöberg on Twitter. Sjöberg is the developer behind the Taproot website, enabling users to track the update on the Taproot upgrade. The entire Twitter has been buzzing as a bullish sentiment surrounds this upgrade.

A prominent Bitcoin entrepreneur and supporter, Matt Odell, took to Twitter to comment on the reason for the bullish sentiment surrounding the upgrade.

"The addition of Taproot to bitcoin will bring additional privacy to bitcoin users but is not a magic bullet. Improvements enabled by it will take time to see in practice, and we still need additional upgrades if we want robust privacy guarantees for the majority of bitcoin users," said Odell.

Integration of new tech

The Taproot upgrade will also bring in the Merkelized Abstract Syntax Tree (MAST), which replaces the current pay to script hash (P2SH). The P2Sh puts a heavy load on the Network and also affects the privacy of transactions by displaying unnecessary information. On the other hand, the MAST only shows what's needed. 

Furthermore, the Schnorr Signature implementation will allow users to aggregate multisignatures into one for a single transaction. This will enhance the efficiency of the Lightning Network as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
