Why Bitcoin?
Bitcoin (also known as BTC) is the original cryptocurrency that introduced the world to the concept of digital money independent of governments and central banks. It uses a technology called blockchain to make every transaction secure and open for everyone to see.
Imagine having a type of money that's safe, can grow in value, and is usable anywhere, anytime, without the hassles of bank fees or delays. Unlike regular currencies, which can be printed in unlimited quantities by governments, Bitcoin has a fixed supply of just 21 million coins, protecting it from inflation and devaluation. It's a global currency not controlled by any single entity, offering a unique blend of freedom, security, and accessibility that works everywhere around the world.
That's the power and promise of Bitcoin.
