What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin? What is it?

Bitcoin is a kind of digital assets, a crypto currency. While it is still less convenient to do online shopping with Bitcoin compared to using credit cards, holding onto Bitcoin might fight back against inflation.

If you had never owned Bitcoin before and you'd like to know bitcoin for the first time, please watch these videos about bitcoin first, then take some free online Bitcoin courses as needed before you install a lightweight wallet and purchase some bitcoin.

How much does 1 Bitcoin worth now?

Bitcoin had gone through a few successful Bitcoin hard forks. As a result, more than one digital assets carry the name of 'Bitcoin'. Today, three of top digital assets share the same Blockchain origin - Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH or BCC), and Bitcoin Gold (BTG). Usually, when people refer to Bitcoin, they mean BTC.

Start Using Bitcoin

If you'd like to have a Bitcoin wallet on your own computer, you can install Electrum (lightweight, faster) or install Bitcoin Core (much slower) to start receiving or sending Bitcoin. Alternatively, you may choose to use online Wallet offered by Coinbase to exchange USD into BTC and vice versa.
