Five Facts for $BTC

1. The world's first cryptocurrency blockchain

Bitcoin was created in 2009 by an anonymous developer (or group of developers) under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto and became the first decentralized digital currency.

2. limited issuance - only 21 million

Bitcoin's protocol stipulates that no more than 21 million coins can be mined in total, making it a deflationary asset - unlike fiat currencies, which can be printed indefinitely.

3. Mining new bitcoins gets harder over time

Every 210,000 blocks (roughly every 4 years) there is a "halving" - the reward for a mined block is halved. This slows down the production of new coins and increases scarcity.

4. Bitcoin - completely decentralized

The entire network operates without a single control center. Nodes (nodes) and miners around the world maintain and confirm transactions, making the system resistant to censorship and hacking.

5. It can't be tampered with

Thanks to blockchain technology, cryptographic methods, and the Proof of Work consensus mechanism, it is virtually impossible to alter transaction history or tamper with bitcoin.
