DIGITAL GOLD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized cryptocurrency – a type of digital
asset that uses public-key cryptography to record, sign and send transactions
over the Bitcoin blockchain – all done without the oversight of a central
authority.

The Bitcoin network (with an upper-case “B”) was launched in January 2009 by an
anonymous computer programmer or group of programmers under the pseudonym
“Satoshi Nakamoto.” The network is a peer-to-peer electronic payment system that
uses a cryptocurrency called bitcoin (lower case “b”) to transfer value over the
internet or act as a store of value like gold and silver.

Each bitcoin is made up of 100 million satoshis (the smallest units of bitcoin),
making individual bitcoin divisible up to eight decimal places. That means
anyone can purchase a fraction of a bitcoin with as little as one U.S. dollar.


BITCOIN PRICE

Bitcoin’s price is renowned for being highly volatile, but despite that, it has
become the top performing asset of any class (including stocks, commodities and
bonds) over the past decade – climbing a staggering 9,000,000% between 2010 and
2020.

When the cryptocurrency was launched at the beginning of 2009, as Satoshi
Nakamoto mined the bitcoin genesis block (the first-ever block on the Bitcoin
blockchain), 50 BTC entered circulation at a price of $0.00.

Fifty bitcoin continued to enter circulation every block (created once every 10
minutes) until the first halving event took place in November 2012 (see below).
Halvings refer to bitcoin’s issuance system, which was programmed into Bitcoin’s
code by Satoshi Nakamoto. It essentially involves automatically halving the
number of new BTC entering circulation every 210,000 blocks.

In February 2011, BTC’s price reached parity with the U.S dollar for the first
time. The milestone encouraged new investors into the market, and over the next
four months, bitcoin’s price continued to rise – peaking at over $30.

By early 2013, the leading cryptocurrency had recovered from a prolonged bearish
episode and rose above $1,000, albeit only briefly. But with the infamous Mt Gox
hack, China announcing its first ban on crypto and other situations, it took a
further four years for the BTC price to return to above $1,000 again. Once that
level was passed, however, bitcoin’s price continued to surge dramatically
throughout 2017 until BTC peaked at its previous long-standing all-time high of
$19,850.

Over 2018, the entire crypto market plunged into what is now known as the
“crypto winter” – a yearlong bear market. It wasn’t until December 2020, when
bitcoin returned to test the previous all-time high, that it eventually
surpassed that historical level and rose a further 239% over the next 119 days
to a new all-time high of $64,799.


HOW DOES BITCOIN WORK?

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are like the email of the financial world.
The currency doesn’t exist in a physical form, and the coin is transacted
directly between the sender and the receiver without banking intermediaries to
facilitate the transaction. Everything is done publicly through a transparent,
immutable, distributed ledger technology called blockchain.

 * Here are the main features of blockchain technology:
 * Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public, distributed ledger known as a
   “blockchain” that anyone can download and help maintain.
 * Transactions are sent directly from the sender to the receiver without any
   intermediaries.
 * Holders who store their own bitcoin have complete control over it. It cannot
   be accessed without the holder’s cryptographic key.
 * Bitcoin doesn’t exist in a physical form.
 * Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million. No more bitcoin can be created and
   units of bitcoin cannot be destroyed.
 * Bitcoin users send and receive coins over the network by inputting the
   public-key information attached to each person’s digital wallet.

In order to incentivize the distributed network of people verifying bitcoin
transactions (miners), a fee is attached to each transaction. The fee is awarded
to whichever miner adds the transaction to a new block. Fees work on a
first-price auction system, where the higher the fee attached to the
transaction, the more likely a miner will process that transaction first.

Every single bitcoin transaction that takes place has to be permanently
committed to the Bitcoin blockchain ledger through a process called “mining.”
Bitcoin mining refers to the process where miners compete using specialized
computer equipment known as application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips
to unlock the next block in the chain.

Unlocking blocks work as follows:

 * Crypto mining uses a system called cryptographic hashing. This function
   simply takes any input (messages, words or data of any kind) and turns it
   into a fixed-length alphanumeric code known as a “hash.”
 * Each input creates a completely unique hash, and it’s almost impossible to
   predict what inputs will create certain hashes. Even changing one character
   of the input will result in a totally different fixed-length code.
 * Each new block has a value called a “target hash.” In order to win the right
   to fill the next block, miners need to produce a hash that is lower than or
   equal to the numeric value of the ‘target’ hash. Since hashes are completely
   random, it’s just a matter of trial and error until one miner is successful.

This method of requiring miners to use machines and spend time and energy trying
to achieve something is known as a proof-of-work system and is designed to deter
malicious agents from spamming or disrupting the network.

Whoever successfully unlocks the next block is rewarded with a set number of
bitcoin known as “block rewards” and gets to add a number of transactions to the
new block. They also earn any transaction fees attached to the transactions they
add to the new block. A new block is discovered roughly once every 10 minutes.

Bitcoin block rewards decrease over time. Every 210,000 blocks, or about once
every four years, the number of bitcoin received from each block reward is
halved to gradually reduce the number of bitcoin entering the space over time.
As of 2021, miners receive 6.25 bitcoins each time they mine a new block. The
next bitcoin halving is expected to occur in 2024 and will see bitcoin block
rewards drop to 3.125 bitcoins per block. As the supply of new bitcoin entering
the market gets smaller, it will make buying bitcoin more competitive – assuming
demand for bitcoin remains high.


BITCOIN’S ENERGY CONSUMPTION

The process of requiring network contributors to dedicate time and resources to
creating new blocks ensures the network remains secure. But that security comes
at a price. As of 2021, the Bitcoin network consumes about 93 terawatt hours
(TWh) of electricity per year – around the same energy consumed by the
34th-largest country in the world.

This appetite for electricity has drawn widespread criticism from celebrities
such as Tesla CEO Elon Musk to government bodies such as China’s State Council
and the U.S. Senate over Bitcoin’s impact on climate change. But while the
electricity figures are alarmingly high, it’s important to note that bitcoin
mining at most accounts for 1.29% of any single country’s energy consumption.
Not to mention, Bitcoin is a complete financial system whose energy consumption
can be measured and tracked, unlike the fiat system, which cannot be accurately
measured and requires a range of additional layers to function, including ATMs,
card machines, bank branches, security vehicles, storage facilities and huge
data centers.

There are also a number of initiatives including the Crypto Climate Accord and
the Bitcoin Mining Council that aim to improve Bitcoin’s carbon footprint by
encouraging miners to use renewable sources of energy.


MANAGEMENT

As already mentioned, the Bitcoin network was created by a pseudonymous
programmer, or group of programmers, known only as “Satoshi Nakamoto.” During
its early development, other developers joined to work on the protocol,
including cypherpunk Hal Finney, cryptographers Wei Dai and Nick Szabo and
software developer Gavin Andresen.

There were also a range of other developers including Pieter Wuille and Peter
Todd who contributed to the development of Bitcoin Core – the first client on
the Bitcoin network. A client is a piece of software that enables a network
participant to run a node and connect to the blockchain.

An American nonprofit called the Bitcoin Foundation was founded in 2012 to
support the development and adoption of the Bitcoin protocol. After three years,
however, the foundation eventually ran out of cash and was dissolved.

In 2014, Adam Back, another cypherpunk and the inventor of Hashcash – a
cryptographic hashing algorithm created in 1997 which used the same
proof-of-work mechanism that Bitcoin would later adopt – co-founded Blockstream.
Blockstream is a for-profit tech company that develops new infrastructure on the
Bitcoin network, including Lightning Network and sidechains.
