In 2009, a person or a group of people known as Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin to the world

As a sign of respect for Bitcoin’s creator, the smallest unit of a bitcoin is known as a satoshi. One satoshi is valued at around 0.00005 U.S. dollars (as on 11th April 2019), which is a very, very low value.

According to current bitcoin values, which fluctuate a lot, to make a dollar you need close to 15,800 satoshis.

Losing your Bitcoin address, which is also known as your private key, not only means losing your unique identification; it also means losing all the bitcoins in your wallet.

Research shows that at least 60 percent of all Bitcoin addresses are ghosts, which means a huge chunk of the people using Bitcoins have lost their addresses and have no way to access their wallets.

The process of mining bitcoins is expensive; you pay a lot in money, time, and electricity. Mining bitcoins requires servers used for that specific purpose.

Ireland consumes approximately 5,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. All the bitcoin mining farms together consume about 60 terawatt-hours of electricity, which is approximately 6 x 1010 kilowatt-hours—a large amount of power.

Although several countries around the world, such as Canada and America, have wholeheartedly accepted Bitcoin, some haven’t. Countries including Bolivia, Iceland, Bangladesh, and Ecuador have completely banned the usage of bitcoins

There’s a limit to how many bitcoins can exist in the market: 21 million. As of this moment, 17 million bitcoins are already in circulation; that means almost 80 percent of the 21 million have already been mined.
