ABOUT BITCOIN


WHAT IS BITCOIN (BTC)?



Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency originally described in a 2008
whitepaper by a person, or group of people, using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. It
was launched soon after, in January 2009.

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer online currency, meaning that all transactions happen
directly between equal, independent network participants, without the need for
any intermediary to permit or facilitate them. Bitcoin was created, according to
Nakamoto’s own words, to allow “online payments to be sent directly from one
party to another without going through a financial institution.”

Some concepts for a similar type of a decentralized electronic currency precede
BTC, but Bitcoin holds the distinction of being the first-ever cryptocurrency to
come into actual use.


WHO ARE THE FOUNDERS OF BITCOIN?



Bitcoin’s original inventor is known under a pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto. As of
2021, the true identity of the person — or organization — that is behind the
alias remains unknown.

On October 31, 2008, Nakamoto published Bitcoin’s whitepaper, which described in
detail how a peer-to-peer, online currency could be implemented. They proposed
to use a decentralized ledger of transactions packaged in batches (called
“blocks”) and secured by cryptographic algorithms — the whole system would later
be dubbed “blockchain.”

Just two months later, on January 3, 2009, Nakamoto mined the first block on the
Bitcoin network, known as the genesis block, thus launching the world’s first
cryptocurrency. Bitcoin price was $0 when first introduced, and most Bitcoins
were obtained via mining, which only required moderately powerful devices (e.g.
PCs) and mining software. The first known Bitcoin commercial transaction
occurred on May 22, 2010, when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 Bitcoins
for two pizzas. At Bitcoin price today in mid-September 2021, those pizzas would
be worth an astonishing $478 million. This event is now known as “Bitcoin Pizza
Day.” In July 2010, Bitcoin first started trading, with the Bitcoin price
ranging from $0.0008 to $0.08 at that time.

However, while Nakamoto was the original inventor of Bitcoin, as well as the
author of its very first implementation, he handed the network alert key and
control of the code repository to Gavin Andresen, who later became lead
developer at the Bitcoin Foundation. Over the years a large number of people
have contributed to improving the cryptocurrency’s software by patching
vulnerabilities and adding new features.

Bitcoin’s source code repository on GitHub lists more than 750 contributors,
with some of the key ones being Wladimir J. van der Laan, Marco Falke, Pieter
Wuille, Gavin Andresen, Jonas Schnelli and others.


WHAT MAKES BITCOIN UNIQUE?



Bitcoin’s most unique advantage comes from the fact that it was the very first
cryptocurrency to appear on the market.

It has managed to create a global community and give birth to an entirely new
industry of millions of enthusiasts who create, invest in, trade and use Bitcoin
and other cryptocurrencies in their everyday lives. The emergence of the first
cryptocurrency has created a conceptual and technological basis that
subsequently inspired the development of thousands of competing projects.

The entire cryptocurrency market — now worth more than $2 trillion — is based on
the idea realized by Bitcoin: money that can be sent and received by anyone,
anywhere in the world without reliance on trusted intermediaries, such as banks
and financial services companies.

Thanks to its pioneering nature, BTC remains at the top of this energetic market
after over a decade of existence. Even after Bitcoin has lost its undisputed
dominance, it remains the largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization
that surpassed the $1 trillion mark in 2021, after Bitcoin price hit an all-time
high of $64,863.10 on April 14, 2021. This is owing in large part to growing
institutional interest in Bitcoin, and the ubiquitousness of platforms that
provide use-cases for BTC: wallets, exchanges, payment services, online games
and more.


HOW MUCH BITCOIN IS IN CIRCULATION?



Bitcoin’s total supply is limited by its software and will never exceed
21,000,000 coins. New coins are created during the process known as “mining”: as
transactions are relayed across the network, they get picked up by miners and
packaged into blocks, which are in turn protected by complex cryptographic
calculations.

As compensation for spending their computational resources, the miners receive
rewards for every block that they successfully add to the blockchain. At the
moment of Bitcoin’s launch, the reward was 50 bitcoins per block: this number
gets halved with every 210,000 new blocks mined — which takes the network
roughly four years. As of 2020, the block reward has been halved three times and
comprises 6.25 bitcoins.

Bitcoin has not been premined, meaning that no coins have been mined and/or
distributed between the founders before it became available to the public.
However, during the first few years of BTC’s existence, the competition between
miners was relatively low, allowing the earliest network participants to
accumulate significant amounts of coins via regular mining: Satoshi Nakamoto
alone is believed to own over a million Bitcoin.

Mining Bitcoins can be very profitable for miners, depending on the current hash
rate and the price of Bitcoin. While the process of mining Bitcoins is complex,
we discuss how long it takes to mine one Bitcoin on CoinMarketCap Alexandria —
as we wrote above, mining Bitcoin is best understood as how long it takes to
mine one block, as opposed to one Bitcoin. As of mid-September 2021, the Bitcoin
mining reward is capped to 6.25 BTC after the 2020 halving, which is roughly
$299,200 in Bitcoin price today.


HOW IS THE BITCOIN NETWORK SECURED?


Bitcoin is secured with the SHA-256 algorithm, which belongs to the SHA-2 family
of hashing algorithms, which is also used by its fork Bitcoin Cash (BCH), as
well as several other cryptocurrencies.


WHAT IS BITCOIN’S ROLE AS A STORE OF VALUE?



Bitcoin is the first decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency. One of its
most important functions is that it is used as a decentralized store of value.
In other words, it provides for ownership rights as a physical asset or as a
unit of account. However, the latter store-of-value function has been debated.
Many crypto enthusiasts and economists believe that high-scale adoption of the
top currency will lead us to a new modern financial world where transaction
amounts will be denominated in smaller units.

The smallest units of Bitcoin, 0.00000001 BTC, are called Satoshis (or Sats in
short), in a nod to the pseudonymous creator. At Bitcoin price now, 1 Satoshi is
equivalent to roughly $0.00048.

The top crypto is considered a store of value, like gold, for many — rather than
a currency. This idea of the first cryptocurrency as a store of value, instead
of a payment method, means that many people buy the crypto and hold onto it
long-term (or HODL) rather than spending it on items like you would typically
spend a dollar — treating it as digital gold.


HOW IS BITCOIN’S TECHNOLOGY UPGRADED?



A hard fork is a radical change to the protocol that makes previously invalid
blocks/transactions valid, and therefore requires all users to upgrade. For
example, if users A and B are disagreeing on whether an incoming transaction is
valid, a hard fork could make the transaction valid to users A and B, but not to
user C.

A hard fork is a protocol upgrade that is not backward compatible. This means
every node (computer connected to the Bitcoin network using a client that
performs the task of validating and relaying transactions) needs to upgrade
before the new blockchain with the hard fork activates and rejects any blocks or
transactions from the old blockchain. The old blockchain will continue to exist
and will continue to accept transactions, although it may be incompatible with
other newer Bitcoin clients.

A soft fork is a change to the Bitcoin protocol wherein only previously valid
blocks/transactions are made invalid. Since old nodes will recognise the new
blocks as valid, a soft fork is backward-compatible. This kind of fork requires
only a majority of the miners upgrading to enforce the new rules.

Some examples of prominent cryptocurrencies that have undergone hard forks are
the following: Bitcoin’s hard fork that resulted in Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum’s
hard fork that resulted in Ethereum Classic.

Bitcoin Cash has been hard forked since its original forking, with the creation
of Bitcoin SV. Read more about the difference between Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and
Bitcoin SV here.


WHAT IS TAPROOT?



Taproot is a soft fork that bundles together BIP 340, 341 and 342 and aims to
improve the scalability, efficiency, and privacy of the blockchain by
introducing several new features.

The two major changes are the introduction of the Merkelized Abstract Syntax
Tree (MAST) and Schnorr Signature. MAST introduces a condition allowing the
sender and recipient of a transaction to sign off on its settlement together.
Schnorr Signature allows users to aggregate several signatures into one for a
single transaction. This results in multi-signature transactions looking the
same as regular transactions or more complex ones. By introducing this new
address type, users can also save on transaction fees, as even complex
transactions look like simple, single-signature ones.

Although HODLers will probably not notice a big impact, Taproot could become a
key milestone to equipping the network with smart contract functionality. In
particular, Schnorr Signatures would lay the foundation for more complex
applications to be built on top of the existing blockchain, as users start
switching to Taproot addresses primarily. If adopted by users, Taproot could, in
the long run, result in the network developing its own DeFi ecosystem that
rivals those on alternative blockchains like Ethereum.


WHAT IS THE LIGHTNING NETWORK?


The Lightning Network is an off-chain, layered payment protocol that operates
bidirectional payment channels which allows instantaneous transfer with instant
reconciliation. It enables private, high volume and trustless transactions
between any two parties. The Lightning Network scales transaction capacity
without incurring the costs associated with transactions and interventions on
the underlying blockchain.


WHO ARE THE LARGEST CORPORATE HOLDERS OF BITCOIN?



A few years ago, the idea that a publicly traded company might hold Bitcoin on
its balance sheets seemed highly laughable. The flagship cryptocurrency was
considered to be too volatile to be adopted by any serious business. Many top
investors, including Warren Buffett, labeled the asset a “bubble waiting to
pop.”

This negative sentiment appears to have been broken, with a number of corporate
behemoths buying up Bitcoin since 2020. In particular, business intelligence
firm MicroStrategy set the pace after it bought $425 million worth of Bitcoin in
August and September 2020. Since then, many others have followed suit, including
EV manufacturer Tesla.

MicroStrategy has by far the largest Bitcoin portfolio held by any
publicly-traded company. The business analytics platform has adopted Bitcoin as
its primary reserve asset, aggressively buying the cryptocurrency through 2021
and 2022. As of August 30, 2022, the company had 129,699 Bitcoin in its reserve,
equivalent to just over $2.5 billion.

Other top corporate holders include Marathon Digital Holdings, with 10,054 BTC,
Coinbase (9,000), Square Inc. (8,027), and Hut 8 Mining Corp. (7,078).


IS BITCOIN POLITICAL?



Bitcoin is becoming more political by the day, particularly after El Salvador
began accepting the currency as legal tender. The country's president, Nayib
Bukele, announced and implemented the decision almost unilaterally, dismissing
criticism from his citizens, the Bank of England, the IMF, Vitalik Buterin and
many others. Since the Bitcoin legal tender law was passed in September 2021,
Bukele has also announced plans to build Bitcoin City, a city fully based on
mining Bitcoin with geothermal energy from volcanoes.

Countries like Mexico, Russia and others have been rumored to be candidates also
to accept Bitcoin as legal tender, but thus far, El Salvador stands alone.

On the flip side, countries like China have moved to heavily clamp down on
Bitcoin mining and trading activities. In May 2021, the Chinese government
declared that all crypto-related transactions are illegal. This was followed by
a heavy crackdown on Bitcoin mining operations, forcing many crypto-related
businesses to flee to friendlier regions.

Surprisingly, the anti-crypto stance of the Chinese government has done little
to stop the industry. According to data by the University of Cambridge, China is
now the second-biggest contributor to Bitcoin's global hash rate, only behind
the United States.


HOW MUCH IS BITCOIN?


The current valuation of Bitcoin is constantly moving, all day every day. It is
a truly global asset. From a start of under one cent per coin, BTC has risen in
price by thousands of percent to the numbers you see above. The prices of all
cryptocurrencies are quite volatile, meaning that anyone’s understanding of how
much Bitcoin is will change by the minute. However, there are times when
different countries and exchanges show different prices and understanding how
much Bitcoin is will be a function of a person’s location.


WHERE CAN YOU BUY BITCOIN (BTC)?



Bitcoin is, in many regards, almost synonymous with cryptocurrency, which means
that you can buy Bitcoin on virtually every crypto exchange — both for fiat
money and other cryptocurrencies. Some of the main markets where BTC trading is
available are:

 * Binance
 * Coinbase Pro
 * OKEx
 * Kraken
 * Huobi Global
 * Bitfinex

BITCOIN ENERGY CONSUMPTION



Over the past few decades, consumers have become more curious about their energy
consumption and personal effects on climate change. When news stories started
swirling regarding the possible negative effects of Bitcoin’s energy
consumption, many became concerned about Bitcoin and criticized this energy
usage. A report found that each Bitcoin transaction takes 1,173 KW hours of
electricity, which can “power the typical American home for six weeks.” Another
report calculates that the energy required by Bitcoin annually is more than the
annual hourly energy usage of Finland, a country with a population of 5.5
million.

The news has produced commentary from tech entrepreneurs to environmental
activists to political leaders alike. In May 2021, Tesla CEO Elon Musk even
stated that Tesla would no longer accept the cryptocurrency as payment, due to
his concern regarding its environmental footprint. Though many of these
individuals have condemned this issue and move on, some have prompted solutions:
how do we make Bitcoin more energy efficient? Others have simply taken the
defensive position, stating that the Bitcoin energy problem may be exaggerated.

At present, miners are heavily reliant on renewable energy sources, with
estimates suggesting that Bitcoin’s use of renewable energy may span anywhere
from 40-75%. However, to this point, critics claim that increasing Bitcoin’s
renewable energy usage will take away from solar sources powering other sectors
and industries like hospitals, factories or homes. The Bitcoin mining community
also attests that the expansion of mining can help lead to the construction of
new solar and wind farms in the future.

Furthermore, some who defend Bitcoin argue that the gold and banking sector —
individually — consume twice the amount of energy as Bitcoin, making the
criticism of Bitcoin’s energy consumption a nonstarter. Moreover, the energy
consumption of Bitcoin can easily be tracked and traced, which the same cannot
be said of the other two sectors. Those who defend Bitcoin also note that the
complex validation process creates a more secure transaction system, which
justifies the energy usage.

Another point that Bitcoin proponents make is that the energy usage required by
Bitcoin is all-inclusive such that it encompasess the process of creating,
securing, using and transporting Bitcoin. Whereas with other financial sectors,
this is not the case. For example, when calculating the carbon footprint of a
payment processing system like Visa, they fail to calculate the energy required
to print money or power ATMs, or smartphones, bank branches, security vehicles,
among other components in the payment processing and banking supply chain.

What exactly are governments and nonprofits doing to reduce Bitcoin energy
consumption? Earlier this year in the U.S., a congressional hearing was held on
the topic where politicians and tech figures discussed the future of crypto
mining in the U.S, specifically highlighting their concerns regarding fossil
fuel consumption. Leaders also discussed the current debate surrounding the
coal-to-crypto trend, particularly regarding the number of coal plants in New
York and Pennsylvania that are in the process of being repurposed into mining
farms.

Aside from congressional hearings, there are private sector crypto initiatives
dedicated to solving environmental issues such as the Crypto Climate Accord and
Bitcoin Mining Council. In fact, the Crypto Climate Accord proposes a plan to
eliminate all greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, And, due to the innovative
potential of Bitcoin, it is reasonable to believe that such grand plans may be
achieved.


CRYPTO WALLETS



The most popular wallets for cryptocurrency include both hot and cold wallets.
Cryptocurrency wallets vary from hot wallets and cold wallets. Hot wallets are
able to be connected to the web, while cold wallets are used for keeping large
amounts of coins outside of the internet.

Some of the top crypto cold wallets are Trezor, Ledger and CoolBitX. Some of the
top crypto hot wallets include Exodus, Electrum and Mycelium.
