Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a digital currency that operates using a decentralised ledger called the blockchain, to record all transactions transparently and securely. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, the Bitcoin network is decentralised, meaning that it is not controlled by any central authority, such as a government or bank. Instead, it relies on a distributed network of computers, known as nodes, to validate and record transactions. This facilitates peer-to-peer, global exchange and eliminates the need for third-party intermediaries, making Bitcoin widely accessible. Bitcoin's limited supply, which is capped at 21 million coins, makes it a unique store of value, often compared to precious metals. Its decentralised nature provides resistance to censorship and offers users increased financial autonomy. To learn more about Bitcoin, take a look at our "What is Bitcoin?" article.

Founded in 2009, the cryptoasset has become the benchmark against which all other cryptoassets are measured. Bitcoin was created by an anonymous entity referred to under the pseudonym ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’, based on an idea of electronic, peer-to-peer cash systems, using a decentralised blockchain based on cryptography. Bitcoin was revolutionary in introducing a digital currency that can operate without the need for a central authority, like a bank or government. Over the years, the Bitcoin blockchain has experienced several changes. A prominent example was the Bitcoin Cash hard fork, which took place in August 2017, and resulted in the creation of Bitcoin Cash - a multibillion-dollar crypto of its own. As of August 2021, there are over 19 million BTC coins in circulation on the market, with a total supply of 21 million coins.
