Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Real answers to questions everyone has when starting out

Is Bitcoin safe?
+
Bitcoin itself is extremely secure—the network has never been hacked. The risks come from how you store and manage your Bitcoin. Using reputable exchanges, hardware wallets, and never sharing your private keys keeps you safe.
Do I need to buy a whole Bitcoin?
+
Not at all! Bitcoin is divisible to 8 decimal places. You can buy as little as $1 worth. Many people start small and add more over time—this is called "stacking sats."
Where does Bitcoin come from?
+
New Bitcoin is created through "mining"—powerful computers solving complex puzzles to verify transactions. Miners are rewarded with new Bitcoin. Only 21 million will ever exist.
Can I lose my Bitcoin?
+
You can lose access to your Bitcoin if you lose your private keys or recovery phrase. That's why backup is crucial. Write down your recovery phrase and store it safely offline.
Is it too late to buy Bitcoin?
+
Only about 2% of the world owns any Bitcoin. Major institutions are just starting to adopt it. Many believe we're still in the early innings of a much longer story.
