Bitcoin (BTC) is the original crypto asset and still the largest, worth about $1.63 trillion with a supply capped at 21 million coins. You do not need a whole coin: Bitcoin divides into 100 million satoshis, so a ₹100 order is possible.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that runs on its own blockchain, with no company or central bank behind it. New coins are created at a rate that halves roughly every four years, and the total can never exceed 21 million, per CoinGecko.
About 20.1 million are already in circulation, a fixed design that matters before you decide how to buy Bitcoin in India.
