Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the most widely known digital asset in the world. It was created in 2009 as a way for people to send money over the internet without using banks or payment companies. Instead of relying on a central authority, Bitcoin uses a public system called blockchain that records every transaction across a global network of computers.
One of the key features of Bitcoin is that it's limited in supply. Only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist. This built-in scarcity is one of the reasons many people compare it to gold. But unlike gold, Bitcoin is easy to send, store, and divide into smaller units. You can own as little as a fraction of a Bitcoin, making it accessible to all kinds of investors.
In Australia and around the world, Bitcoin is becoming more common as a way to invest, protect against inflation, or simply learn about the growing world of digital finance. Whether you’re buying Bitcoin for the first time or adding it to a broader portfolio, it’s a starting point for anyone curious about crypto.
People use Bitcoin to store value, send money globally, or invest in digital assets. Some also use it for online payments where accepted.
Yes. Bitcoin is legal to buy, sell, and hold in Australia. It's regulated by AUSTRAC, and treated as property for tax purposes.
You can buy Bitcoin through a registered exchange like Elbaite. Create an account, deposit AUD, and buy Bitcoin directly to your personal wallet or a secure vault.
Bitcoin is stored in a digital wallet. You can use a self-custody wallet for full control, or a custodial vault if you prefer added simplicity and security.
Bitcoin is secured by a global network and has been running without interruption since 2009. Like any investment, its price can move up or down, so it's important to understand your risk tolerance.
Bitcoin’s value comes from its limited supply, decentralised structure, and growing demand. It’s not controlled by any single government or company.
Yes. Some retailers and services accept Bitcoin as payment. You can also convert it back to AUD when you want to use your funds.
Bitcoin focuses on being a decentralised, secure store of value. It doesn't have advanced features like newer blockchains, but it’s the most established and widely recognised.
