Key Information

Overview

Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies held in a wallet. The transactions to withdraw, sell, buy are all handled on the Blockchain. Your public key is used to assign your portion of Bitcoin to you. It is used when you are handling transactions.

Background

Investing in Bitcoin has emerged as a lucrative opportunity for businesses due to its potential for high returns and its status as a decentralized digital currency. Over the past decade, Bitcoin has demonstrated remarkable growth, attracting investors seeking diversification, hedging against inflation, and exposure to a novel asset class. 

However, Bitcoin is also known for its volatility, experiencing frequent price fluctuations that can be both substantial and rapid. While this volatility can lead to significant short-term gains, it also increases the risk of losses.

Bitcoin has delivered extraordinary returns over the last decade. Despite its volatility, its price has surged significantly, outperforming traditional assets like stocks and bonds.
