BITCOIN BASICS

Simple answers for new Bitcoiners

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is open, borderless digital money that runs without a central company, bank, or government. Anyone can use the network, and anyone can run a node to independently check Bitcoin’s rules. This lets people send value online without asking permission from a financial intermediary.

Why is the supply capped at 21 million?

Bitcoin’s monetary policy is encoded in its consensus rules. New coins are issued on a transparent schedule, and nodes enforce a maximum supply of 21 million bitcoin. This creates digital scarcity that anyone can independently verify. Changing the limit would require users to voluntarily adopt different rules; no company, government, or individual can change it unilaterally.

What is the halving—and why does it matter?

Roughly every 210,000 blocks—about four years—the new-bitcoin subsidy paid to miners is reduced by half. This event is called the halving. It gradually slows the issuance of new bitcoin until the 21 million limit is approached. Transaction fees are not halved. Unlike discretionary monetary systems, Bitcoin’s issuance schedule is publicly known and independently verified by nodes.

What gives Bitcoin value?

Bitcoin’s value is not guaranteed by a company or government. It emerges from people choosing to use and hold an asset with a limited supply, global portability, divisibility, censorship resistance, and no central issuer. Its monetary rules can be independently verified, but its market price still reflects supply, demand, adoption, liquidity, and changing expectations.

Why is Bitcoin different from “crypto”?

Bitcoin is technically a cryptographic digital asset, but it differs from most projects commonly marketed as “crypto.” It launched without a premine or central issuer and operates through Proof of Work, a fixed monetary policy, and a network of independently operated nodes. Many other projects depend more heavily on foundations, companies, insiders, or governance groups that can influence their development and monetary rules.

Every Bitcoin Merch design is inspired by the principles that make Bitcoin different: verification, self-custody, scarcity, nodes, and Proof of Work.
