Bitcoin is the world’s best-known cryptocurrency. It was designed to be used as an alternative payment method and introduced in 2009. The creator of BTC was a mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, a person who had not been identified yet.

The main feature of Bitcoin is that it is traded, stored, and distributed via blockchain, a decentralized ledger. This was exactly what seemed to surprise and excite the public back in 2009. It gained huge popularity in a very short period of time. Since then people have been arguing about the real purpose of Bitcoin, whether it is a new type of currency or a possible store of value that is meant to substitute gold.

The price of BTC is volatile, but when zooming out the increasing trend is very clear throughout the history of the coin. However, there are some moments when people decide to sell Bitcoin and stop hodling.
