<p>Bitcoin is a decentralized virtual currency that operates on a peer network, without intermediaries or central authority. It is based on <strong>blockchain technology</strong>, which secures and verifies transactions. The flagship crypto thus offers possibilities for:</p>
<ul>
 <li>innovation,</li>
 <li>competitiveness,</li>
 <li>inclusion,</li>
 <li>transparency,</li>
 <li>resilience,</li>
 <li>diversification.</li>
</ul>
<p>Bitcoin is a means to resist government surveillance and censorship. It even allows to preserve freedom and human rights. Indeed, BTC enables anonymous transactions, without going through banks or financial institutions.</p>
<p>Bitcoin thus ensures the confidentiality and sovereignty of users, who can escape the interference and restrictions of states. <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/feed/post/2024-02-19-edward-snowden-calls-bitcoin-the-most-important-monetary-advancement-since-currency-inception-4306313153034" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Snowden</a> sees in Bitcoin <strong>a tool for dissent and democracy</strong>. Snowden was pursued and exiled for exposing abuses of power.</p>

<p>Bitcoin has been experiencing exponential growth since its creation. It hit record levels in 2024, exceeding <strong>$52,000 on February 18</strong>. That represents more than 40 times its value in 2017.</p>
<p>This increase is explained by a strong demand, especially from institutional investors who see in BTC a safe haven, an alternative to gold or simply a means of diversifying their portfolio. It is also explained by the approval of several Bitcoin ETFs by <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-secs-official-announcement-on-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the SEC</a>.</p>
<p>At the time of writing, the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-markets/bitcoin-btc-en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin (BTC) price</a> is about $52,268 with a market capitalization of $594,019,000,000.</p>
