🟠 What Is Bitcoin Really? (It’s Not Just Internet Money)

Bitcoin is the first peer-to-peer digital currency — no banks, no middlemen. Just you, your wallet, and a decentralized network that:

- Lets you send money anywhere without permission

- Keeps records on a public ledger (the blockchain)

- Has a fixed supply: only 21 million BTC will ever exist

It’s used for:
✔️ Saving (a.k.a. HODLing)
✔️ Fast, borderless payments
✔️ Protecting wealth from inflation
✔️ Building DeFi, NFT, and Web3 ecosystems

🧠 You Thought You Knew Bitcoin? Let’s Break Some Myths 💥

Here’s what even crypto veterans often miss 👇

🔹 Satoshi didn’t need a network — just 1 laptop to launch Bitcoin.
🔹 At launch, BTC wasn’t bought — it was mined by running a code file.
🔹 No BTC existed in wallets at the start — coins were released block by block via mining.
🔹 Wallets don’t “store” your BTC. They store keys. Your BTC lives on the blockchain.
🔹 Uninstall Trust Wallet? No panic — your seed phrase is your lifeline.
🔹 Every transaction you send is cryptographically signed by your private key (automatically).
🔹 In 2140, no more BTC will be mined — but the network lives on through fees.
🔹 Binance, Coinbase? Instant trades = off-chain balance updates. Blockchain is only used when you withdraw.

👉 And the golden rule:
If you don’t hold the keys...
You don’t hold the coin. 🔐
