What Is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a type of money that exists only online. There are no physical coins or bills. It was created in 2009 as a way to send and receive money without needing a bank. Instead of using a central authority, Bitcoin runs on a system called blockchain.

What’s a Blockchain?

Think of blockchain as a digital notebook that records every transaction. This notebook is shared across thousands of computers, so no single person or company controls it. That’s what makes Bitcoin “decentralized.”

Why Do People Trust It?

1. No Central Control: People trust Bitcoin because it isn’t controlled by any government or company. It gives individuals more financial freedom.

2. Limited Supply: There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins. This makes it different from regular money, which governments can print more of. Many people see this as protection against inflation.

3. Security: The Bitcoin network is extremely secure. It’s very difficult to hack or fake a transaction, which gives people confidence in using it.

4. Global Access: Anyone with an internet connection can use Bitcoin, which is especially useful in places where access to banks is limited.

Bitcoin isn’t perfect—it can be volatile, and it still feels complex to many. But for those who value independence and digital ownership, Bitcoin continues to be a trusted choice.
