What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the world’s first cryptocurrency and remains the largest by market capitalisation. Launched in 2009, it introduced the concept of a decentralised, peer-to-peer digital currency secured by blockchain technology. Its native token, BTC, is used as both a medium of exchange and a store of value.

Why Bitcoin Matters

Unlike programmable blockchains such as Ethereum or Solana, Bitcoin’s primary purpose is digital money and digital gold. Its value lies in:

• Scarcity: A fixed supply of 21 million coins.
• Security: The most secure blockchain, maintained by the largest decentralised mining network.
• Global Adoption: Accepted worldwide as a form of payment and increasingly as a reserve asset.
• Hedge Asset: Viewed by many as protection against inflation, currency debasement, and systemic risk.

This makes Bitcoin the benchmark digital asset and foundation of the crypto market.
