You can do a quick search to have the answers to all these simple questions, it has about ~200k transactions per day which settles about ~2B$ worth of Bitcoin a day (which is up very significantly since last year and down quite a bit from few months ago).
Are you trying to argue that transaction capacity is the most important metric?
If so, then you don't want Bitcoin. You can use Paypal.
However if you want to own an asset that can't be debased by central banks, where your transactions can't be censored, where you can participate from anywhere geographically, then you might want Bitcoin.
Those features come at a transaction capacity tradeoff.

Also, how many transactions/day does the second-most-used cryptocurrency facilitate?

Is it really a good idea to invest in such a volatile asset?
