It has been a little over ten years since Bitcoin’s debut – a point in time where the very foundations of the financial system were being shaken. Indeed, forever etched into the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain is the following Guardian “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” Bitcoin is today not only worth over $10,000 AUD per coin, but it is; • A $200bn+ collective savings account (total market capitalisation in AUD) • A network with more computing power than every other computer and supercomputer on the planet combined • The best performing asset class over the past year, three years, five years and decade • The greatest single investment of all time, delivering a 90 million percent ROI since inception • Soon to be the scarcest unit/object/asset known to man • Proclaimed dead over 380 times, but still just getting stronger and more robust every day • Used by millions of people around the world • Processed more than $3T USD in payments in 2018 alone • Talked about on CNBC, by the IMF, by U.S. Congress and tweeted about by POTUS himself It’s an incredible feat, and one that has the potential to lay the foundation for the next great zero to one moment in society – the last being the internet. This guide is designed to through the clutter and help you to understand what Bitcoin is, why it matters, and how to gain exposure to it in a safe and sensible way. We hope you get a lot out of it.
