Key Facts about Bitcoin

Frequently Asked Questions

Bitcoin is a digital form of money that allows people to send and store value directly without relying on banks or governments.

It runs on a global, decentralized network and follows a fixed set of rules that cannot be changed by any single authority.

Bitcoin’s value comes from a combination of factors:

Its fixed supply of 21 million coins, its decentralized and secure network, and its ability to transfer value globally without intermediaries.

Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin cannot be printed or manipulated, which gives it predictable monetary rules.

Yes. Bitcoin is legal.

Because Bitcoin is decentralized and not controlled by any single authority, it cannot be fully banned or shut down by any government or country.

The Bitcoin network itself has never been hacked.

It is considered the most secure computer network in the world, protected by cryptography and the largest amount of computing power securing any public system.

Security issues typically come from poor storage or third-party services — not the network itself.

Bitcoin is a neutral technology.

Like cash or the internet, it can be misused but the vast majority of Bitcoin activity is legal.

Bitcoin’s public and transparent ledger actually makes it less suitable for crime than cash.

No, Bitcoin uses energy to secure its network.

That energy enables a global, open financial system and increasingly comes from renewable, surplus or otherwise wasted energy sources.

In many regions, Bitcoin mining helps stabilize energy grids and supports renewable energy development.

Bitcoin was created in 2008 by an unknown person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto.

Satoshi released Bitcoin as open-source software and then disappeared, leaving the network fully decentralized and owned by no one.

Getting started with Bitcoin usually involves learning the basics, choosing a wallet, and starting with small amounts.

Education and proper backup practices are essential before holding larger amounts.
