Bitcoin is the original decentralized digital asset and the largest crypto network by market value. It was designed around a simple idea: people should be able to transfer value without relying on a bank or another central intermediary.
The Bitcoin network is maintained by miners and thousands of independent nodes. Transactions are grouped into blocks and added to the blockchain through proof of work. The supply of BTC is capped at 21 million, and the amount of new bitcoin issued to miners is reduced roughly every four years in an event known as the halving.
What tends to move Bitcoin?
BTC can react to several things at once: global liquidity, interest-rate expectations, institutional demand, ETF flows, regulation, exchange activity and broader risk appetite. Short-term price action can be noisy, so it is useful to separate market moves from changes in the Bitcoin network itself.
