Bitcoin Information
A brief primer on Bitcoin and how it relates to your investment.
What is Bitcoin?
The basics, in plain language.
Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency created in 2009. It operates without a central bank or single administrator, and transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain.
Key characteristics
- Decentralised: no single entity controls Bitcoin.
- Limited supply: only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist.
- Transparent: all transactions are recorded on a public ledger.
- Volatile: the price can fluctuate significantly over short periods.
