What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency built on the Bitcoin blockchain. It was created for peer-to-peer digital payments and a decentralized store of value.

The network allows you to:

send and receive value without intermediaries, rnstore wealth outside the traditional banking system, make borderless transactions using the Lightning Network

These capabilities exist because traditional systems struggle with:

Reliance on centralized institutions to transfer value across bordersrnInflation and currency debasement in fiat monetary systemsrnLack of financial access for unbanked populations worldwide

Why do people sell Bitcoin?

Many Bitcoin holders sell a portion of their holdings to lock in gains after a price rally or to rebalance their portfolio toward other assets. Some sell BTC to cover real-world expenses, converting digital value into spendable fiat. Others reduce their position ahead of anticipated market corrections or to free up capital for new opportunities. Selling Bitcoin through a regulated platform ensures a clear audit trail and reliable settlement.

Tax considerations when selling Bitcoin

In most jurisdictions, selling Bitcoin for fiat currency is considered a taxable event. Capital gains tax may apply based on the difference between your purchase price and the sale price, as well as your holding period. Consult a qualified tax advisor to understand the reporting obligations that apply in your country.
