Bitcoin is a revolutionary digital currency, or cryptocurrency, introduced in 2008 by an unknown person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralised network, using a technology called blockchain. This technology records and verifies all transactions across a network of computers, ensuring security and transparency without the need for a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer transactions, allowing users to send and receive payments directly, usually at lower costs and with greater speed compared to traditional banking systems. It's recognized for its potential to provide financial services to unbanked populations globally and has sparked the development of thousands of other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's value is determined by market demand and has been known for its price volatility. It's also increasingly accepted by businesses and retailers, making it a functional form of digital money or asset.

Bitcoin has been a top-performing asset in the past decade, but before adding it to your investment portfolio, it's crucial to conduct research and understand the risks. Seek advice from a financial advisor regarding Bitcoin's speculative nature. Educate yourself to make informed investment decisions.

Bitcoins are generated through mining, where powerful computers solve complex mathematical problems. Successful miners are rewarded with new bitcoins as they verify transactions on the Bitcoin network. To learn more about this process please see our blog.
