1. What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a digital form of money that lives on the internet. It is not controlled by any single company, bank, or country. Instead, it runs on an open network that anyone can inspect.

• Digital: No notes or coins – just balances recorded on a public network.
• Decentralised: Thousands of computers around the world keep the system in sync.
• Limited supply: There will only ever be 21 million BTC, released over time.
• Borderless: BTC can be sent across the world without traditional banking rails.

2. Types of “Bitcoin” you may hear about

When people say “Bitcoin”, they usually mean the original network with the ticker BTC. But you may also see other coins that use the Bitcoin name or forked from it.

• BTC (Bitcoin): The main and original Bitcoin network, tracked on this dashboard.
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH): A separate blockchain that forked from Bitcoin in 2017 with different rules.
• Bitcoin SV (BSV): Another fork, with its own community and set of trade-offs.
• Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC): A token that represents BTC on other chains (like Ethereum) for DeFi use.

The tools on this site focus on BTC. You can also compare BTC to other large coins in the Top crypto assets panel.

3. How does Bitcoin actually work?

Behind the simple price chart, Bitcoin is a combination of cryptography, networking, and economic rules.

• Blockchain: Every Bitcoin transaction is grouped into blocks. These blocks form a chain that records the full history of the network.
• Miners: Special computers compete to add new blocks by solving math problems. As a reward, they receive newly created BTC and fees.
• Nodes: Thousands of nodes store and verify the blockchain rules. They keep miners honest by checking each block.
• Halving cycles: Every ~4 years, the block reward is cut in half, slowing the rate at which new BTC enters circulation.

4. Safe “boosting” practices

On Bitcoin Boosting, “boosting” means boosting your knowledge and clarity – not your leverage. Here are simple habits that tend to help beginners the most.

• Start with small amounts: Learn how wallets and transfers work before thinking about larger sums.
• Use reputable platforms: Whether you use exchanges or wallets, research them first and enable security options like 2FA.
• Think long-term: Short-term price swings can be noisy. Use dashboards like this one to zoom out on context.
• Write things down: Never share private keys or seed phrases. Store them offline, in a safe place.
• Know your risk limits: Only use money you can afford to lose, and avoid copying random “signals” online.

For more clarity, check out the FAQ section and test simple scenarios using the Boosting Tools instead of relying on hype or rumors.

5. Key Bitcoin metrics to watch

• Price: The current market rate per BTC, usually shown in USD.
• Market cap: BTC price × circulating supply, a rough sense of network size.
• 24h volume: How much value has traded in the last day.
• Dominance: How much of total crypto market cap is Bitcoin.
• Trend: Short-term charts that show whether volatility is rising or calming down.

6. Common beginner mistakes

• Chasing headlines without understanding risk.
• Ignoring position size and only thinking in “all-in” terms.
• Checking price every few seconds and making emotional moves.
• Copying strangers on social media instead of learning basics.
• Confusing educational dashboards like this with personal advice.
