Bitcoin explained in 5 minutes.
The basic idea
Bitcoin is digital money with a limited supply. It can be transferred worldwide and operates without a central authority.
No one can simply increase the supply. This clearly sets Bitcoin apart from monetary systems that can be expanded continuously.
Why it matters
Bitcoin is used differently depending on the situation. For some, it is a way to save, while for others, it is an open payment method.
You do not need to understand everything straight away. What matters is understanding the basic idea and then choosing the next step that suits you.
Understand
What Bitcoin is, why it exists and why its limited supply plays a central role.
Put it into context
Why Bitcoin can be viewed as a way to save, a payment method or infrastructure, depending on the situation.

How wallets, Lightning payments and self-custody are connected and where practical use begins.

Open explanationSimulate regular Bitcoin purchases
Many people do not start with one large purchase, but with small, regular amounts. The calculator shows you what this approach would have looked like in the past.
You choose the amount, frequency and time period. You will then see how much would have been invested, approximately what the portfolio would be worth today, and how the invested amount and portfolio value would have developed.
This is deliberately not a promise or recommendation. It simply helps you get a feel for saving with Bitcoin, price fluctuations and a long term perspective.
You can find a more detailed explanation of recurring purchases in the Basics section.
