Bitcoin was created by an anonymous individual or group of individuals known as "Satoshi Nakamoto". In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper detailing the concept of a decentralised digital currency, which was later implemented as the Bitcoin network.

The first block on the Bitcoin network, known as the "genesis block," was mined in January 2009. Satoshi Nakamoto is believed to have mined the first few blocks on the network before disappearing from the community in late 2010, leaving the development of Bitcoin to a team of volunteers. Despite intense speculation and investigation, the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains a great mystery to this day.

As of early 2023, there are over 19 million Bitcoins. 6.25 new Bitcoins are created every 10 minutes, and that number halves every 4 years or so. There are only 1.7 million Bitcoins left to mine.

Absolutely not! However, if you're wondering whether it's a sound investment, remember that we can't offer financial advice. When it comes to Bitcoin, it has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years. Yet, it seems to bounce back stronger with each bull market. So, our friendly suggestion is to tread carefully, and only invest what you're comfortable with potentially losing. Stay safe, and happy investing!
