06 What Is Bitcoin?
About Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) is a smart contract platform cryptocurrency ranked #1 by market capitalisation. It has a capped maximum supply of 21,000,000 BTC, of which 96% is already in circulation. BTC currently trades about 39% below its all-time high of $126,080. It launched around 2009-01-03.
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and largest cryptocurrency, launched in January 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It runs on a decentralised proof-of-work network secured by miners worldwide, with a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins and a programmed “halving” that cuts new issuance roughly every four years.
Bitcoin’s core proposition is censorship-resistant, permissionless money and a scarce, non-sovereign store of value — a thesis that has increasingly drawn institutional allocation through spot exchange-traded funds and corporate treasuries. Its price is driven by the interplay of fixed supply, halving-cycle dynamics, macro liquidity, and demand from both retail and institutional buyers.
