Collection: BITCOIN

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer online currency, which means that all transactions take place directly between equal, independent network users, with no need for any middleman to allow or facilitate them. According to Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin was intended to allow "online payments to be transmitted directly from one party to another without passing via a banking institution."

The fact that Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to exist on the market gives it a distinct edge. It is a valuable asset that has developed a worldwide community and an altogether new business of millions of people who produce, invest in, trade, and utilize Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their daily lives.

Bitcoin's initial price was cents, and no one expected it to skyrocket to such unimaginable heights as more and more people took it seriously. Even banks are now interested in capitalizing on price increases.
