Bitcoin Basics
What Is Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is the world's first cryptocurrency, launched in 2009. It is a new form of digital money managed by participants on a global peer-to-peer network, with no central bank or single issuer.
Bitcoin (BTC) Basics
The unit is BTC, with a hard cap of 21 million coins. New blocks of transactions are produced roughly every 10 minutes, and anyone in the world can send or receive value 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
How Bitcoin Works
Bitcoin runs on a distributed ledger called the blockchain. Every transaction is verified and recorded by computers around the world, making the record extremely difficult to tamper with.
Benefits of Bitcoin
Because supply is fixed, Bitcoin resists the inflation that erodes fiat currencies, and cross-border transfers settle quickly at low cost. It is a new way to store and move value without intermediaries.
Bitcoin's Future Outlook
With growing institutional adoption, the launch of spot ETFs, and clearer regulation in many countries, Bitcoin is increasingly used both as an investment and as a means of payment. Long-term adoption is expected to continue.
History of Bitcoin
In 2008, an individual using the name Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper, and the first block was mined in 2009. Through several halving events since, Bitcoin has grown into the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bitcoin
There are several routes to acquire Bitcoin. The most common is a cryptocurrency exchange, where you complete identity verification, deposit funds, and place an order. You can also use peer-to-peer marketplaces to trade directly with another person, buy from a Bitcoin ATM, or accept BTC as payment for goods or services. Exchanges require an account; P2P trades and self-custodial wallets do not.
Bitcoin itself has no inherent minimum — 1 BTC is divisible into 100 million satoshis (0.00000001 BTC). Exchange minimums are set by each platform and are often the equivalent of a few hundred yen. On peer-to-peer platforms or with self-custody, you can hold and receive any amount above the network's dust limit.
Costs depend on how you buy. Exchange-style (order book) trading fees are typically 0–0.2%, while broker-style services charge a wider spread as the effective cost. P2P marketplaces charge little or no platform fee but include a price premium negotiated between buyer and seller. Bitcoin ATMs tend to have the highest fees, often several percent. Compare the all-in cost before trading.
Sending Bitcoin on-chain only requires a network (miner) fee, which fluctuates with blockchain congestion and is paid to miners — not to any company. If you send from an exchange, the exchange may add its own withdrawal fee on top. Sending wallet-to-wallet directly costs only the network fee, and Lightning Network transfers cost a small fraction of that.
The Bitcoin network itself runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — blocks keep being produced and you can send or receive at any time. Individual exchanges may pause trading or withdrawals briefly for maintenance, but the underlying network never closes.
Yes. Most exchanges offer mobile apps that let you buy, sell, and withdraw entirely from your phone. Self-custodial mobile wallets (including Lightning-enabled wallets) also let you hold and send Bitcoin directly without an exchange. We recommend enabling two-factor authentication and backing up wallet seed phrases offline.
