Bitcoin gives individuals something the traditional financial system doesn't:
Full ownership and control over their own money.
It's not possible to determine exactly how many people own bitcoin, but estimates suggest around 100 million people worldwide hold some amount of BTC.
Bitcoin is not controlled by banks or governments.
Bitcoin transactions cannot be blocked or reversed by third parties.
With bitcoin, you can send and receive money anywhere in the world, at any time.
To use bitcoin, you don't need: a bank account, approval from an institution, a national ID, or a credit history.
Bitcoin's supply is fixed and predictable. It protects your savings from inflation.
Many choose bitcoin as a long-term savings tool.
