About Bitcoin

Last updated 13 Oct

Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the largest digital asset by market capitalisation. The Bitcoin network lets users hold and transfer BTC without a central issuer, using a public blockchain, fixed monetary policy and globally distributed miners to settle transactions.

For Australian readers comparing the Bitcoin price in AUD, BTC is usually treated as a benchmark for crypto market risk, liquidity and long-term store-of-value demand. Its 21 million coin supply cap, deep exchange support and long operating history make Bitcoin a core reference point for market cycles.
