What is Bitcoin (BTC)?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, without a central bank or single administrator, that can be sent between people on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. It was invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. The currency began use in 2009 when its implementation was released as open-source software.
Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services, and one of the key characteristics of Bitcoin is its limited supply. There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins. This scarcity has contributed to Bitcoin’s value and its perception as “digital gold and it’s often seen as a store of value, like gold. That said, it’s important to always do your own research (DYOR) when it comes to Bitcoin or any other crypto asset.
