Bitcoin introduced the concept of digital scarcity. Unlike traditional currencies that can be printed by central banks, Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. This limited supply is one of the main reasons why many investors consider it “digital gold.” The Bitcoin network is decentralized and maintained by thousands of computers around the world. These computers verify transactions and keep the system secure. As adoption grows, many people see Bitcoin not only as a payment method but also as a long-term store of value in the digital economy.
