Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the first and top digital asset in the world. Created by a person or group of individuals under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, the first digital peer to peer currency, bitcoin was created in 2009 following a major crash in the housing market.

Secured with cryptography and runs on blockchain technology, Bitcoin is a fully decentralized currency that serves as a form of payment without any third parties.

The idea behind bitcoin is in the whitepaper written by Satoshi Nakamoto.

The flagship digital currency has grown by over 37,833,333% percent in over 10 years. A large percentage of all bitcoin holders are in a state of profit. The market cap now sits at over $6600 Billion to beat Visa and Walmart.
