All the latest news and key insights you need from Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency—a decentralized digital currency that allows people to send and receive value across the internet without relying on banks or intermediaries. Built on blockchain technology, Bitcoin enables secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions through a peer-to-peer network. Its core value proposition lies in being a censorship-resistant, deflationary currency with a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it a potential hedge against inflation and centralized monetary control.
Bitcoin was created in 2009 by an anonymous figure or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. The motivation stemmed from the 2008 global financial crisis and the growing distrust in centralized banking systems. Traditional finance depends on intermediaries like banks and governments, which can censor transactions, inflate currency, and fail due to mismanagement. Bitcoin was designed as an alternative monetary system—one that is open, transparent, decentralized, and resistant to manipulation or control by any single entity.
