what is bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency launched in 2009 that operates on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin serves as both a store of value and medium of exchange on its native blockchain.

Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network of nodes using proof-of-work consensus through SHA-256 mining. Bitcoin transactions are confirmed roughly every 10 minutes on average, with a block size limit of 4MB, creating a settlement layer for final, immutable transactions.

Bitcoin is secured by millions of THash/s of mining power distributed globally across independent miners. With a market cap exceeding $2 trillion, Bitcoin remains the largest and most liquid cryptocurrency by volume.
