$BTC

Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency – known more commonly as a cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency in the world in terms of market cap, but also in terms of name recognition and desirability for those seeking exposure to the crypto market.

There is also another definition for bitcoin, which is for ‘Bitcoin’ with a capital ‘B’. This definition is associated with the peer-to-peer network that underpins the entire system, while bitcoin with a lowercase ‘b’ is associated with the coins themselves.

So, while you can own bitcoins and it might cost you ten bitcoins to buy a new car, you might also think that Bitcoin’s infrastructure needs updating.
