Intro to Bitcoin
A gentle introduction to the world's first cryptocurrency
What is Bitcoin?
A decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto.
No central authority — no banks, no governments, no single issuer.
Transactions are verified by a global peer-to-peer network.
Supply is capped at 21 million coins.
Why does it matter?
Scarcity:
fixed supply, unlike fiat currencies.
Sovereignty:
you control your own keys, and your own money.
Open:
anyone, anywhere, can participate without permission.
Transparent:
every transaction is recorded on a public ledger.
The blockchain: a chain of blocks, each referencing the last.
