Bitcoin was developed in 2009. It is the first decentralised cryptocurrency on the blockchain and set off a global revolution.

Its creator is anonymous, and only known under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

Bitcoin is also known as digital gold, and thanks to its deflationary nature with clearly set rules, it is considered a great store of value.

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a decentralised database of all transactions of a single cryptocurrency.

Blockchain is a new technology used by most cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin. The information on a blockchain network is stored in blocks.

Blocks are created by miners, and subsequently linked according to defined cryptography rules. Blockchain is also called an "open ledger" – immutable thanks to its decentralised nature.
