The evolution of financial technologies is accelerating, and crypto is at the forefront of this process. Today, there are millions of cryptocurrencies on the market with a total value of $2.4 trillion. Additionally, blockchain—the core technology behind crypto, which is attracting interest from states and corporations, is becoming increasingly popular.
All of this is thanks to Bitcoin, created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Bitcoin is the first successful decentralized digital asset, often referred to in the financial world as "digital gold".
Why is Bitcoin compared to gold?
The main value of gold lies in its scarcity. The supply of gold on Earth is limited, and mining the metal is difficult and expensive, which increases demand for it. Consequently, for millennia, humans have used gold as a unit of currency.
Like gold, Bitcoin is scarce. The maximum amount of Bitcoin is pre-determined, and unlike paper money, which can be printed or created infinitely, Bitcoin is not subject to artificial intervention. The maximum supply of Bitcoin is 21 million coins. This limit creates an artificial deficit that makes Bitcoin, on the one hand, a scarce financial instrument, and on the other, one protected from inflation. If more money circulates in the economy and the purchasing power of the currency decreases, Bitcoin—which is by nature a "store of value" asset, should, in the long term, be more stable than any ordinary currency. Therefore, Bitcoin is one of the most interesting investment assets in the world.
How does Bitcoin work?
Bitcoin is a decentralized asset, meaning it is not controlled by any state or company. Bitcoin relies on blockchain technology—a transparent and mathematically secure digital ledger where it is impossible to change information. Transactions within the Bitcoin network are transparent and public; the integrity of these transactions is maintained by miners, who receive financial rewards for their role as validators.
How to invest in Bitcoin?
Due to its reliability, Bitcoin is no longer considered an experimental asset. On the contrary, not only crypto experts but also the world's largest investment funds, public companies, and states are investing in Bitcoin. In recent years, it has become possible to invest in Bitcoin from the stock exchange through investment funds (ETFs) created by major asset management companies. However, besides securities, it is possible to invest directly in Bitcoin from TBC Mobilebank.
Often, novice investors think they must buy one whole coin to invest in Bitcoin, which is incorrect. In fact, in the TBC App, you can invest in Bitcoin starting from $1, directly from your bank account, at a time and place convenient for you.
