Bitcoin was proposed in 2008 and officially launched in 2009. Not controlled by traditional financial institutions such as governments or banks, transactions are completed through a peer-to-peer network, making it possible to conduct transactions anywhere on a global scale. And it has storage value.

The total amount of Bitcoin is fixed at 21 million and gradually released through mining.

All transaction records are stored on a public blockchain and can be publicly queried, but once the transaction is confirmed, it cannot be tampered with or revoked.
