Bitcoin
The world's first digital asset. Understand its history, how it works and why it is considered a digital store of value.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the world's first digital asset, created in 2009 by a person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It works as a form of digital money that doesn't depend on any government or central bank to exist.
Its main characteristic is scarcity: only 21 million bitcoins will ever be created. This programmatic limitation, combined with growing global adoption, is what many consider the basis of its value as a digital store of wealth.
In El Salvador, Bitcoin has been legal tender since 2021, meaning it can be used for payments, investments and transfers in a regulated manner.
How does it work?
Blockchain
Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network called blockchain: a public ledger where all transactions are permanently and verifiably recorded.
Mining
Computers around the world validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. This process ensures network security without the need for a central intermediary.
Limited supply
Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin has a maximum supply of 21 million units. This programmatic scarcity is what many consider its main characteristic as a store of value.
