What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency — money that isn't controlled by any government, bank, or corporation. Created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, it allows anyone to send value to anyone else, anywhere in the world, without needing permission from a middleman.

Why Bitcoin?

Traditional money is controlled by central banks that can print more of it at will, eroding your savings over time. Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins — it cannot be inflated away. This makes it the hardest money ever created.

• Permissionless — No one can stop you from using it
• Borderless — Send value anywhere on earth
• Scarce — Only 21 million will ever exist
• Decentralised — No single point of failure
• Open-source — Anyone can verify the code

Getting Started

The best way to start is to get a small amount of Bitcoin and experience using it:

1. Learn the basics — You're doing this right now!
2. Get a wallet — Start with a mobile wallet like Phoenix or Blue Wallet
3. Get some sats — Buy a small amount on an exchange, or earn them
4. Self-custody — Move to a hardware wallet as your stack grows
5. Run a node — Verify the rules yourself for maximum sovereignty

"Running a marathon and hodling Bitcoin have a lot in common — both require proof-of-work, patience, and the discipline to keep going when it gets hard."
