Bitcoin, also known as BTC, is the world's first cryptocurrency and the largest digital asset by market capitalisation. It was created in 2009 with the aim of providing a secure and decentralised alternative to traditional money.
Unlike conventional payment systems that rely on banks and financial institutions, Bitcoin transactions are processed and verified by a global network of computers. This allows users to send and receive funds directly, regardless of location.
Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins. Today, it is widely used as a store of value and remains one of the most recognised cryptocurrencies in the world.
Cryptoassets are high-risk and may not be right for everyone. The value of your crypto can go up or down at any time and may even fall to zero. You should only invest if you fully understand the risks and if it suits your financial situation. Funds used for crypto transactions are not safeguarded and are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service.
