Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralised cryptocurrency that enables the secure international transfer of value using online devices and wallets.

One of the core principles of the Bitcoin protocol is the removal of third parties from the mediation of transactions by creating a decentralised network of participants. As a result, BTC transactions can be performed with low network fees and can be processed faster than traditional transfers.

An increasing number of merchants both online and on-the-ground already accept BTC payments.
