What is Bitcoin

Bitcoin can seem mysterious — full of buzzwords like mining, blockchain, and scarcity. But at its core, the ideas are simple. In this first episode of Beyond Bitcoin, we’ll walk through Bitcoin from the ground up: • Who created it and why. • How it shifted from digital cash to digital gold. • How the blockchain, nodes, and miners keep it running. • Why scarcity — with only 21 million Bitcoin ever — shapes its unique four-year cycle. By the end, you’ll have a clear, beginner-friendly understanding of what Bitcoin is, how it works, and why it matters today. Whether you’re brand new or just curious, this is your entry point into the world of Bitcoin and Beyond.
