WHAT IS BITCOIN?

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, as described in the
now-famous Bitcoin white paper. Created in 2009, Bitcoin was the first of
today’s cryptocurrencies, later giving inspiration to projects like Ethereum and
thousands of other crypto projects.

And while today’s crypto market offers thousands of other cryptocurrencies,
Bitcoin still stands in a league of its own, topping the charts with the largest
market capitalization and the best name recognition worldwide.

In addition to being the first among the current digital currencies, Bitcoin is
also seen by many as being the most secure crypto network, largely due to its
wide mining network and Bitcoin’s steadfast commitment to proof-of-work as its
consensus method to validate transactions.

Like most other cryptocurrencies, the Bitcoin network works as a public ledger.
For standard transactions, it’s trivial to see which wallet sent Bitcoin to
which wallet, how much, and when the transaction happened.

Bitcoin was designed to be money, a verifiable and secure way to send value from
person A to person B. But new developments like inscriptions (data storage) are
bringing new functionality to the Bitcoin network, including Bitcoin’s own
version of NFTs and BRC-20 tokens that trade on the Bitcoin network.

BITCOIN ORDINALS

Prior to 2023, Bitcoin was only seen as a decentralized payment system. However,
the Taproot network upgrade opened up a whole new world of possibilities for
Bitcoin, introducing the concepts of Ordinals.

Ordinals brought the concept of NFTs to the Bitcoin network for the first time,
allowing users to inscribe photos, videos and more within blocks and trade them.
And after an initial hype cycle, it is increasingly starting to look like
Ordinals are here to stay.

BRC-20 TOKENS

BRC-20 tokens were also made possible by the recent Taproot upgrade. While
Ordinals represent the NFTs of the Bitcoin network, BRC-20 tokens represent the
fungible version of this innovation. Instead of allowing unique images or videos
to be inscribed into Bitcoin, BRC-20 tokens allow users to own and trade
fungible altcoins on the Bitcoin network.

WHO FOUNDED BITCOIN?

Bitcoin was created by an anonymous team or individual. Someone using the
pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto is credited with the creation and has never been
positively identified, despite several people claiming to be Satoshi over the
years.

Bitcoin’s anonymous roots and fair launch (mined, not sold) also make the
grandaddy of crypto a standout in the market. To our knowledge, Bitcoin was
created without a profit motive — but rather with an altruistic intention: to
offer a sound alternative to what was seen at the time as a broken financial
system. Bitcoin’s launch coincided with the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) of the
late Aughts.

Satoshis, or Sats, are the smallest division of Bitcoin, with each Bitcoin equal
to 100 million Satoshis.

BITCOIN SUPPLY

A large part of Bitcoin’s appeal is in its fixed supply. Bitcoin mining
continues to grow the circulating supply, but there is a fixed limit to how many
Bitcoin will ever exist: 21 million.

THE BITCOIN HALVING

Bitcoin’s supply follows an emission schedule that is dependent on halvings.
This is an event that takes place on average every 4 years and reduces the
amount of new Bitcoin that enters circulation and is paid to miners for
validating the network.

Each halving has a diminishing impact on the Bitcoin network, but has
historically acted as a catalyst for price increases. The next bitcoin halving
is set to occur in April of this year, and we put together a whole guide
covering it here!

HOW BITCOIN WORKS

Bitcoin uses proof-of-work to validate transactions. In a nutshell, Bitcoin
miners must invest computational power (electricity, hardware, and maintenance)
to verify a block hash with specific requirements before transactions can be
added to the blockchain. As the hash rate increases on the network, mining
difficulty increases (and vice versa) to keep the average block time at about 10
minutes.

Miners earn both network fees and block rewards for successfully mining a block.
Once transactions are validated in a block, it becomes prohibitively expensive
for the block to be changed because all the subsequent blocks would also have to
be mined again.

Bitcoin miners also use the longest chain, so a rogue miner working overtime to
re-mine prior blocks is unlikely ever to produce the longest chain. Shorter
chains are ignored. This clever structure makes Bitcoin transactions virtually
impossible to reverse and truly decentralized, with over 1 million miners across
the globe.

Like other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin uses crypto wallets to store Bitcoin. Each
wallet has private keys and public keys, with private keys allowing you to
control your Bitcoin on the blockchain and send your Bitcoin to any public
wallet address. Others can also send Bitcoin to your public wallet address,
making Bitcoin function as a way to transfer value — like money, but without any
middlemen like banks or payment services.

WHAT IS THE BULL AND BEAR CASE FOR BITCOIN

There are many reasons that investors have become interested in Bitcoin. But on
the flip side, there are also considerations to be aware of when investing in
the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Below are the common bull and bear cases for
the future of Bitcoin:

BULL CASE

* Digital gold: Many people view Bitcoin as a more accessible and storable
version of gold. Buying Bitcoin can be a bet that the future will be more
digitalized, and investors will begin buying Bitcoin over gold.
* Scarcity: One of the biggest claims to fame for Bitcoin is its fixed supply
of 21 million. There are few assets in the world where the total possible
supply is known.
* Peer to peer payments: Bitcoin is currently being used for global remittances
and in other ways as a peer to peer payment system, as it was intended. While
a lot of infrastructure still needs to be built, Bitcoin has proven that it
has potential as non-government controlled money.
* Protection against monetary debasement: As dollars and fiat currencies enter
our financial system at increasing rates, the fixed supply of Bitcoin becomes
more and more attractive.

BEAR CASE

* Volatility: The large price swings of Bitcoin in the short term hurt its
ability to be used for everyday payments.
* Network scalability: If Bitcoin hopes to be the peer to peer payment system
that it was intended to be, it will need to find more solutions to scale its
network significantly.
* Lack of backing: Bitcoin is currently only worth what others are willing to
pay for it.
* Ease of adoption: Using wallets, blockchains and learning the language of
crypto can be complicated and time consuming.

OTHER THINGS TO BE AWARE OF

BITCOIN DOMINANCE

Bitcoin Dominance is a measure of how large Bitcoin’s market capitalization is
compared to the total cryptocurrency sector. This is measures as a percent and
is a popular indicator to see where money is flowing within the industry.

Investors watch the BTC.D chart closely to determine if Bitcoin is leading the
way, or an “alt-season” can be expected. Historically, Bitcoin used to make up
the vast majority of the crypto market’s valuation. But as more and more
meaningful blockchains and applications launch, we expect this to continue to
decline.

BITCOIN CASH (BCH)

Launching with simply a white paper and an anonymous founder, the future of the
Bitcoin network was put in the hands of the community. As a result, intense
debates have occurred over the years around the purpose and best use case for
Bitcoin. This debate has led to variations of the network launching with
modified code, which are called forks.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was the first fork off of Bitcoin, launching in 2017 in an
attempt to speed up Bitcoin’s transactions. While the original purpose of
Bitcoin was to be a peer to peer payment system, this become unattainable as the
network got extremely popular. Bitcoin Cash emerged to fill this crack,
acquiring a loyal community of its own in the process.

BCH is still relevant, but things never truly played out. Instead of overtaking
the OG crypto, other solutions such as the Bitcoin Lightning Network and other
Layer-2s emerged to aide Bitcoin’s troubles.

BITCOIN SATOSHI VISION (BSV)

Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) came a year later in 2018 and forked the existing
Bitcoin Cash network. BSV put a focus on scalability, in an attempt to fulfill
the creator’s original vision of being the global payment network for everyone.
BSV and BCH both maintain their respective communities, but never saw the same
traction that Bitcoin has.

BITCOIN LIGHTNING NETWORK

The Bitcoin Lightning Network emerged in 2016 as a solution to scale the Bitcoin
network, making payments cheaper and faster. As opposed to being a fork of
Bitcoin like BCH and BSV, the Lightning Network serves as a layer-2, being built
on top of Bitcoin’s infrastructure.

To date, Bitcoin’s Lightning Network has seen success. It is currently being
utilized within El Salvador’s government-created wallet, as well as being used
for tipping on online platforms like Substack.

WRAPPED BITCOIN (WBTC)

Instead of being a fork, Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is directly tied to the price of
Bitcoin and each WBTC represents one Bitcoin on the Ethereum network. Since
blockchains cannot easily communicate with each other, this was a solution that
was implemented to allow Bitcoin to be used in DeFi activities.

By having each WBTC be backed by a physical Bitcoin, users can own, trade and
utilize WBTC in DeFi in the same way that they do with any other ERC-20 token.
All while knowing they can redeem their WBTC to BTC 1:1 at any time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW MANY BITCOIN ARE THERE?

New Bitcoin are issued into the circulating supply every time a new block is
added to the blockchain. However, the amount that is added to the supply is
diminishing over time, per the schedule of the Bitcoin halving.

New Bitcoin issuance will stop once the total supply reaches 21 million tokens.
Importantly, some tokens have been lost over time, with many people estimating
there could now only be 18 million tokens total.

HOW DO I BUY BITCOIN?

You can buy Bitcoin through a crypto exchange like Coinbase. We’ve reviewed some
of the best ways to buy Bitcoin, exploring costs, security features, and more.

HOW CAN I STORE BITCOIN?

You can use a hardware crypto wallet or a software crypto wallet to store your
Bitcoin. We’ve reviewed some best Bitcoin wallet options, depending on your
needs.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BITCOIN AND ETHEREUM?

Generally, Bitcoin focuses on use cases that involve the transfer of value, like
sending Bitcoin to a family member or making a purchase in Bitcoin. Ethereum was
designed to run smart contracts, computer programs that live on the blockchain.
Another notable difference is in how the two networks validate transactions.
Bitcoin still uses proof of work, whereas the Ethereum network uses proof of
stake.

WHAT ARE BITCOIN ORDINALS AND BRC-20 TOKENS?

Both Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens use inscriptions, a form of data storage
on the Bitcoin blockchain, to bring new functionality to Bitcoin. Ordinals are
much like NFTs you’d see on other networks like Ethereum. BRC-20 tokens are
similar to ERC-20 tokens found on the Ethereum network, a way to bring value or
additional functionality to crypto projects.
