What is Bitcoin (BTC)?
Layer-1 blockchain
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first and largest cryptocurrency — a decentralized digital money that lets anyone send value over the internet without a bank or middleman. Launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, it runs on a global, permissionless blockchain secured by proof-of-work mining.
How does Bitcoin work?
Transactions are grouped into blocks and confirmed by miners who compete to solve cryptographic puzzles, making the ledger extremely costly to tamper with. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, and roughly every four years a 'halving' cuts the rate of new issuance — a key driver behind its scarcity narrative.
What is Bitcoin used for?
BTC is held as a long-term store of value (often called 'digital gold'), used for global peer-to-peer payments, and treated as the benchmark asset of the entire crypto market. It trades 24/7 and is the most liquid cryptocurrency in existence.
