About Bitcoin
Bitcoin is digital money that no one controls. No government, bank, or company can print more of it, freeze your account, or decide who gets to use it. It runs on a network that's open to everyone, 24/7, anywhere in the world.
Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist. This fixed supply is hardwired into the system and protects your holdings from losing value through inflation. When traditional currencies lose purchasing power as central banks create more money, Bitcoin's scarcity works the opposite way. It's designed to preserve value over time.
You own it completely. You can send it to anyone, anywhere, at any time, without asking permission. No one can confiscate it or block your transactions. This creates real financial freedom. You control your wealth directly. Every transaction is recorded on a public ledger that anyone can verify, making the system transparent and resistant to manipulation.
- Description
- Bitcoin is the first and most decentralized blockchain, designed primarily as a peer-to-peer digital currency without intermediaries. It operates on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism that relies on mining to secure the network and validate transactions. Its blockchain is simple, highly secure, but limited in scalability and functionality compared to newer platforms.

- Time/confirmations until irreversible
- 3 to 6 blocks after the transaction is included on the blockchain (approximately 60 minutes after first confirmation)
- Whitepaper
No white paper is required under MiCAR, as there is no offer of BTC to the public (considering this is an old token which has been in circulation for several years). Should there be an offer, no white paper is required under MiCAR as there is no identifiable issuer.
Nevertheless, a white paper has been published by CASP LCX AG and Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH, as included in ESMA's interim register for White papers for crypto-assets other than ART and EMT. This white paper is however published in relation to admission to trading of crypto-asset.
