About Bitcoin

What is Cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security and operates independently of a central bank. It is decentralized, meaning that it is not controlled by any government or financial institution. Instead, it relies on a distributed ledger technology called blockchain, which is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked and secured using cryptography.
Cryptocurrencies can be used for online purchases and peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a middleman, such as a bank or payment processor. Some of the most well-known cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. Cryptocurrencies have gained popularity due to their potential for anonymity, security, and the ability to operate across borders without government intervention.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the most popular and widely used cryptocurrency in the world. Launched in 2009, Bitcoin is traded in fractions and unlike fiat currency, bitcoin is created, distributed, traded, and stored with the use of a decentralized ledger system, known as a blockchain.
Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency and has triggered the launch of hundreds of other cryptocurrencies, collectively referred to as altcoins. Bitcoin is commonly abbreviated as "BTC."
Do I need to buy a whole Bitcoin?
Buying Bitcoin doesn’t have to be expensive. With Binance, you can buy a fraction of one Bitcoin for as little as $15. Take note: All investments carry risk. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
How does Bitcoin make money?
Bitcoin value follows the law of supply and demand — and the cryptocurrency’s price fluctuates with the number of users willing to use it.
Besides mining bitcoin, which requires technical expertise and an investment in high-performance computers, most people purchase bitcoins as a form of currency speculation — betting that the U.S. dollar value of one Bitcoin will be higher in the future than it is today. But that's difficult to predict.
