Bitcoin CAD (BTC Price CAD) Values, News and History

Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital currency, known as cryptocurrency that operates on a decentralized network of computers. Unlike traditional currencies (fiat currencies), it is not controlled by any single entity or government. In 2009, it was introduced white paper by an anonymous person or group of people, Satoshi Nakamoto. The primary aim was to create a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that could operate securely and efficiently without the need for a central authority. Currently, BTC’s price in CAD is around $89,284.77.

One of the defining features of Bitcoin is its limited supply. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins in existence. This scarcity is designed to prevent inflation, which is a common problem with fiat currencies that can be printed in unlimited quantities by governments. It is known for its price volatility and its value can fluctuate widely in a short time. This makes it a risky investment but some see it as a store of value or "digital gold" because of its decentralized nature and limited supply.

To use Bitcoin, you need a digital wallet, which can be software on a computer or smartphone, or a physical hardware device. Wallets don't store Bitcoins but rather hold the digital keys used to access Bitcoin addresses and carry out transactions.
