Bitcoin is the first successful form of internet money, built on peer-to-peer technology, meaning no central bank or authority controls its transactions or production. It was created by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Since the source code is open source, anyone can review it or contribute to its development. Bitcoin is reshaping our understanding of money by offering a secure, verifiable, and unchangeable way to transfer value electronically, free from central control.
As a decentralized currency, Bitcoin enables mobile payments with very low fees, protects your privacy, and works anywhere, anytime, without relying on banks or central authorities. With a hard cap of 21 million BTC ever to be created, Bitcoin is designed to be deflationary. It uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, and transactions typically confirm in about 10 minutes. Miners now use specialized ASIC chips to mine Bitcoin, driving the hash rate to massive levels.
Bitcoin's success as the first cryptographic currency has inspired many others like Litecoin, Peercoin, and Primecoin. The introduction of Ethereum’s smart contracts, which are Turing-complete, further fueled the rise of projects like EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties.
Bitcoin is supported directly in the Trezor Suite and Trezor Suite Lite apps.
Bitcoin can be used to purchase various products and services, making mobile payments easy and accessible globally. With tools like Trezor Suite, users can securely send, receive, and store bitcoin.
The time taken to mine 1 BTC is dependent on many factors, so it is difficult to give a precise answer. The shortest time to create 1 BTC is around 10 minutes, but the process is much more likely to take days or weeks.
The total number of bitcoins will be capped at 21 million. This limit is hardcoded into the Bitcoin protocol, ensuring that no more than 21 million bitcoins can ever be created. This scarcity is a fundamental aspect of Bitcoin's design, akin to precious metals like gold, which contributes to its value. As of now, approximately 19 million bitcoins have already been mined, with the remaining bitcoins set to be gradually released through a process known as halving, which occurs approximately every four years. This process not only controls the supply of new bitcoins but also helps to secure the network and maintain its decentralized nature. Consequently, the finite supply of bitcoins, combined with increasing demand, is a key factor in its potential for long-term value appreciation.
To send bitcoin directly using the Trezor Suite app, connect your Trezor to your computer or mobile device. Open Trezor Suite, click on “Send,” enter the receive address, and confirm the transaction on your Trezor device. For more details on sending bitcoin, visit the Trezor Knowledge Base.
The exact steps for using a Bitcoin ATM can vary by machine. However, the general process is as follows: First, provide a bitcoin receive address, which you can do by scanning a QR code. Next, insert the amount of fiat currency you want to exchange for bitcoin. The machine will display the current exchange rate. Once you review and confirm the transaction details and are satisfied with the rate, simply confirm the transaction. The bitcoin will then be sent to the receive address you provided.
Bitcoin is backed by a consensus mechanism known as proof-of-work (PoW). This system requires miners to solve complex mathematical problems, ensuring the security and integrity of the network. It creates trust in the decentralized system and gives value to bitcoin.
