About

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, designed as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that operates without any central authority. Its monetary policy is hard-capped at 21 million coins, with new issuance halving roughly every four years.

History

Origin & evolution

Bitcoin was introduced in October 2008 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto in a whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". The genesis block was mined on 3 January 2009, and Bitcoin has since grown into a global asset held by individuals, corporations, and even sovereign nations.
