What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an open, decentralized, and secure protocol for money. It allows anyone, anywhere, to store, send, and receive value without needing permission from a government, bank, or corporation.
It’s not a company or an app. It’s a set of mathematical rules, enforced by a global network of participants, and secured by energy.
Why is Bitcoin Revolutionary?
Because it does two things that have never existed together before:
- Scarcity: There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. That makes it the hardest money ever created — no one can print more.
- Decentralization: No one can manipulate it. Not a company, not a government. Just math, code, and people around the world voluntarily running it.
Together, that means Bitcoin is money you can trust, not because you trust someone — but because you don't have to.
How Does Bitcoin Benefit Me?
- It protects your savings from inflation.
- It gives you financial freedom — you own it, not a bank.
- You can send money to anyone, anywhere, instantly — with no middlemen.
- It’s open to everyone, even to the billions of people without access to banks.
What Are Satoshis?
Just like a dollar has cents, a Bitcoin has Satoshis.
- 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 Satoshis
- You don’t need to buy a whole Bitcoin. You can start with a few sats (like $1 worth).
Why Not Just Use the Money We Have?
Because today’s money:
- Loses value every year due to inflation.
- Is controlled by governments and central banks who can print more at will.
- Is based on debt and inequality just to keep functioning.
Is Bitcoin safe?
Yes — if you hold your own keys.
The Bitcoin network has never been hacked. You control your Bitcoin with your own wallet—just like having cash in your own vault.
How Do I Use Bitcoin?
- Download a Bitcoin wallet.
- Buy small amounts from a trusted exchange, peer-2-peer platform or earn it directly.
- Send, receive, and store it yourself. You don’t need a bank.
