Borderless and secure digital currency
For many traders and investors, Bitcoin is often the gateway into the world of cryptocurrency. As the world’s first and most recognised cryptocurrency, it holds a unique and influential position in the crypto space.
History
BTC is an internet-native digital currency that enables secure, peer-to-peer transactions. Unlike traditional currencies like the Dollar or Euro, it is decentralised, meaning anyone can send BTC directly without relying on a bank or intermediary.
With its unique origin, decentralised design, and fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is valued for its utility, security, and scarcity. These qualities have earned it the nickname “Digital Gold.”
Launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin sparked the blockchain and crypto revolution.
In 2024, it reached a major milestone with the launch of its first U.S. Bitcoin ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund), marking broader institutional acceptance. The price surged past 150,000 AUD (approximately 100,000 USD), reflecting growing interest and mainstream adoption.
Technology Behind
Blockchain
With its unique origin, decentralised design, and fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is valued for its utility, security, and scarcity. These qualities have earned it the nickname “Digital Gold.”
Consensus
Bitcoin uses a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, where miners solve mathematical puzzles to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain.
Security
Bitcoin uses cryptography to secure transactions. Each wallet has a public key (like an account number) to receive funds and a private key (like a PIN) to sign transactions and access your Bitcoin. Bitcoin also uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm to ensure transaction security and maintain the integrity of the network.
Mining
Mining is the process of creating new Bitcoin and verifying transactions. Every 10 minutes, miners compete to solve complex computational puzzles. The winner adds a new block to the blockchain and earns Bitcoin and transaction fees.
Use Cases
Every BTC transaction is recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain and verified by a global network of participants. As a borderless, secure digital currency, Bitcoin can fill many roles in today’s economy.
