    In economics, something has value if it is scarce and useful. Scarcity means that something has a finite supply. In the case of bitcoin, the cryptocurrency has a set cap of 21 million bitcoins.

    Bitcoin’s utility mainly lies in its potential to be a more efficient commodity than those we already have.

    • Bitcoin is decentralized. No government, bank or single person has control over it. It is not maneuverable by corruption at the top.
    • It is divisible. Currently a bitcoin can be divided down to 8 decimal places. Thus 0.00000001 BTC is the smallest amount that can be handled in a transaction. But the protocol and software can be modified to handle even smaller amounts, if necessary. You can buy anything with it – small items like candies at your grocery store and large items like a yacht as well.
    • The code is built on open source, meaning that it’s available for anyone to look at, inspect and even modify. This means that bitcoin is constantly evolving and improving.
