    How Many Bitcoin Billionaires Are There?

    Since Bitcoin kickstarted the cryptocurrency revolution in 2009, the crypto space has grown dramatically. And while some early adopters used their Bitcoin to buy pizza, for the most part the digital currency has become synonymous with wealth. As of June 2024, the real-time Forbes Billionaires List currently features 15 individuals who are reported to have made a majority of their fortune thanks to the world of cryptocurrency, compared to just nine in 2023. However, at the start of 2024 the list...

    What Is the Bitcoin Genesis Block? How It All Started

    On Saturday, January 3, 2009, Bitcoin was born. With the creation of the very first Bitcoin block—known as the 'Genesis Block'—the first set of 50 BTC was mined into existence. This genesis block is considered the start of the Bitcoin blockchain—and the beginning of the cryptocurrency revolution. Many would argue that the day it was minted represents Bitcoin's birthday. Though others instead believe that Bitcoin's birthday is actually three months earlier—when the Bitcoin whitepaper was first re...

    What Is Solana? A Scalable, Decentralized Network for Dapps

    Decentralized applications, or dapps, are widely regarded as one of the key use cases for blockchain technology. In the last few years, dapps have come on in leaps and bounds, with dapp developers launching everything from games to decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms on blockchain—and a concomitant explosion in user interest. But there's a problem. The vast majority of these dapps run on Ethereum, which has struggled to keep up with rampant demand—leading to congestion on the network and soar...

  • What is the Lightning Network? Bitcoin's Scalability Solution.

    Bitcoin has been hampered by its own popularity. Thanks to the way the blockchain is designed, the speed of transactions is slow and the cost of transactions has increased. Researchers, developers, and the Bitcoin community have been trying to come up with a way of allowing Bitcoin—and other cryptocurrencies—to accommodate more transactions. Their best efforts to date have focused around something called the Lightning Network. Can it fix the cryptocurrency's scaling problems? Speed and cost A bl...

    What Is Yield Farming?

    Yield farming involves lending cryptocurrency via, in most cases, the Ethereum network. By way of comparison, when traditional loans are made via banks using fiat money, the amount lent out is paid back with interest. With yield farming, the concept is the same: cryptocurrency that would otherwise be sitting in an exchange or in a wallet is lent out via DeFi protocols (or locked into smart contracts, in Ethereum terms) in order to get a return. Yield farming is normally carried out using ERC-20...

    NFTs: An Introduction

    When you think of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), what might come to mind are images of cartoonish apes and kitties that sell for millions. But that's just scratching the surface of NFTs. As you will learn in this course, NFTs have the potential to revolutionize the worlds of finance, art, trademark law, and even real estate. Basically, NFTs are pieces of code designed to carry out a set of instructions if certain conditions are met. This code is also known as a smart contract. Usually, at the heart...

  • What Backs Bitcoin?

    Up until relatively recently (the last century or so), most ordinary paper currency and coinage was directly redeemable for gold. This is because many of the wealthiest countries followed the gold standard, a monetary system where governments tied a fixed exchange rate for national currency to gold. As part of this system, countries kept sufficient reserves of gold in their vaults to 100% back their circulating currency supply, ensuring currency-for-gold exchanges were always possible. However,...

    What Are Smart Contracts?

    We’re all familiar with apps and app stores. You browse, download the app you want, and away you go. Behind the lovely UX and UI interfaces of mobile devices, these apps are performing a specific set of instructions as laid out by their creator. It could be a game, a calendar, or a way to buy goods and services. Smart contracts perform a very similar function. A smart contract is a contract—expressed as a piece of code—that’s designed to carry out a set of instructions. With smart contracts, how...

    When it comes to storing cryptocurrencies safely, hardware wallets are widely considered to be the gold standard.

The best hardware wallets are also resistant to physical tampering.

    Since the earliest days of Bitcoin, there have been concerns that it's only a matter of time until the cryptocurrency is banned by governments around the world. For one thing, Bitcoin is often cited as being a threat to traditional monetary systems, with the potential to undermine the control of central banks over the money supply. There are also concerns that Bitcoin facilitates drug trafficking, money laundering and ransomware, due to its pseudo-anonymous nature. But whether or not it's actual...

    Among retail investors, Bitcoin (BTC) is often regarded as a speculative instrument that may be poised for growth in the future. But Bitcoin was originally designed as a "peer-to-peer electronic cash system"—in other words, a decentralized payment method, enabling holders to manage their own finances and make purchases without relying on government-issued fiat currencies. Although Bitcoin doesn’t have the same level of penetration as fiat currencies when it comes to everyday spending, there are...

    Is Bitcoin Price Correlated to the Stock Market?

    When investors dumped stocks this week in response to rising U.S. inflation, the price of Bitcoin tumbled too. This is notable since many Bitcoin boosters frame it as an asset that defies the movement of traditional markets — bursting upwards for much of its existence despite the ebbs and flows of the stock market. It's too soon to say whether this week's sell-off undercuts the thesis that Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. It is after all just one data point, and veteran market watchers caut...
