Bitcoin is a computer network that lets people send digital money to each other without a bank or company in charge. Its pages make no dated promises we could check. It trades at $76,809, #1 of all coins by size, 39% below its highest ever price.

This week in the news: ETF or institution, burn or buyback, funding, upgrade or launch live.

A real job, real backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. The only other digital cash coin within reach is Zcash. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

Is it real?

Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.

Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Does it deliver?

No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

Same job, different how

Digital cash: this coin next to Zcash, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.

Bitcoin says
Bitcoin is a computer network that lets people send digital money to each other without a bank or company in charge.
Zcash says
Zcash is a digital currency built to let people send private, encrypted payments to each other.

Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.

What it is

Bitcoin is a computer network that lets people send digital money to each other without a bank or company in charge.

Its listing puts it this way: Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.

Problem it says it solves: payments. 41 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $1,745,498,830,279.

Where it trades: Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, Bitstamp, Binance

Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.

Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.

What should make me careful?

Nothing printed today

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

Pays for every use of its network

Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it. That is the built-in reason anyone needs it.

That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.

Basics
  • 96%of the maximum supply is in circulation: 20.08M of 21M.
