Who controls Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is not controlled by any one organization but is run by users that send bitcoin directly from person to person (P2P = peer-to-peer).

Where does Bitcoin come from?

Powerful computer networks created each unique bitcoin by solving complex math problems, which is called mining.

How can I get Bitcoin?

The first thing you should do is open up a bitcoin wallet such as Blockstream Green. Make sure you write down the seed phrase that encodes your private key and store it in a secret place. Now you’re ready to receive your first bitcoin! But how? In most cases, you will need to purchase some from Swan, Cash App or an exchange. Afterwards, make sure you transfer your bitcoin to your wallet (mobile or hardware). Always remember, not your keys, not your bitcoin.

I’m Still Confused!

That’s okay! You’re not alone. Bitcoin was released in 2009 so developments remain at an early stage.
