About
Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin (BTC), the pioneering cryptocurrency, has transformed the financial landscape with its decentralized nature, allowing users to perform transactions without intermediaries like banks. Powered by blockchain technology, Bitcoin's ecosystem consists of a distributed ledger that records all transactions transparently and securely, maintained by a global network of miners who validate blocks of transactions through a proof-of-work mechanism. Bitcoin's scarcity, capped at 21 million coins, positions it as a digital asset with deflationary characteristics, often seen as a hedge against inflation. The ecosystem supports a diverse range of applications, from peer-to-peer payments and remittances to decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, attracting widespread interest as both a store of value and a medium of exchange. Key features like security, transparency, and resistance to censorship make Bitcoin a robust and revolutionary asset in the world of finance, serving as the foundation for the broader cryptocurrency market and influencing the design and development of subsequent digital currencies.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the most common way to buy Bitcoin (BTC) with Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)?

    The most common method is through a regulated cryptocurrency exchange in Malaysia. These platforms act as a fiat on-ramp, allowing users to deposit MYR directly from their local bank accounts, often using FPX online transfers. After completing the mandatory KYC/AML compliance checks, you can place an order on the MYR/BTC trading pair to purchase the digital asset.
  • What kind of fees should I expect when trading MYR for BTC on a fiat gateway?

    Typically, you'll encounter two main types of fees. First, the trading fee on the exchange, which is a small percentage of your transaction value. Second, once you withdraw your BTC to a personal digital wallet, you must pay the Bitcoin network fee. This fee, paid to miners for validating transactions through the Proof-of-Work mechanism, varies based on network congestion and hash rate. MYR deposit fees via FPX are often minimal or zero on local platforms.
  • How can I securely store my BTC after purchasing it with MYR?

    For optimal security, it is highly recommended to transfer your Bitcoin from the exchange to a personal, non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys. The gold standard for long-term holding is a hardware wallet (cold storage), which keeps your keys offline. Always enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your exchange account and be wary of phishing scams.
  • What is the significance of the Bitcoin UTXO model for a new buyer using MYR?

    Understanding the UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model is key to how Bitcoin works. Unlike a bank account with a balance, your Bitcoin holdings are a collection of UTXOs on the blockchain. When you buy BTC with MYR, you receive new UTXOs in your wallet. When you spend them, your wallet uses these UTXOs as inputs to create a new transaction, demonstrating the transparent and auditable nature of the Bitcoin ledger.
  • After buying BTC with MYR, can I use it on Layer-2 solutions like the Lightning Network?

    Yes. Once your on-chain Bitcoin transaction from the MYR purchase is confirmed on the blockchain, you own the BTC in your wallet. From there, you can open a channel on the Lightning Network, which is a Layer-2 protocol built on Bitcoin. This allows for near-instant, low-cost micropayments, effectively addressing Bitcoin's scalability for smaller, frequent transactions.
