Is Bitcoin a Market Cap?

Bitcoin is a digital asset and a payment system invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public dispersed ledger called a blockchain.

Bitcoin is unique in that there are a finite number of them: 21 million.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.

NOTE: Bitcoin is not a market capitalization. Market capitalization is the total value of a publicly-traded company’s outstanding shares. Bitcoin is a digital currency, and it does not have a market capitalization. Investing in Bitcoin carries risks, as its value can be highly volatile and it is not regulated by any government or central bank.

As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.

Bitcoin is a market cap? This is a difficult question to answer. While it does have some characteristics of a currency, it does not have the backing of a government or central bank.

Additionally, its price is highly volatile and subject to speculation. While it is possible to use bitcoin to buy goods and services, its use as an investment vehicle is often questioned due to its lack of regulation and inherent risks.
