Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the first decentralised crypto-asset, introduced in 2008 in a white paper signed under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, and has been operational since 2009. It runs on a public blockchain, without a central authority managing it.

Transactions are validated by network participants through the Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism (mining), and the protocol limits the total supply to 21 million units. Like any crypto-asset, Bitcoin is characterised by high price volatility.
