Definition

Bitcoin is a network designed to settle payments and track balances without a central operator. A paper under the name Satoshi Nakamoto appeared in 2008 and the first block was mined in January 2009. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger and miners around the world reach consensus through Proof of Work.

Key points

  • A protocol-level cap of 21 million coins
  • New issuance halves roughly every four years
  • Consensus through Proof of Work
  • Institutional products such as spot ETFs now exist in several markets

Watch out for

  • · Extremely volatile; sharp drawdowns happen over short periods
  • · Fees and confirmation times vary with network congestion
  • · Lose your private key and there is no recovery path
  • · Regulatory changes can affect price and availability
