What is Bitcoin Inscription?

Bitcoin is the asset every other crypto is measured against. It launched in January
2009 as a fixed-supply digital currency with no issuer and no central operator — 21
million coins, and no mechanism to create more. This hub collects MEXC Learn's Bitcoin
coverage, from how the supply schedule works to what actually moves the price.

New to it? Start with what makes Bitcoin scarce, how a transaction settles, and why BTC
gets described as a store of value rather than a payments network. From there the
coverage splits three ways.

Supply and monetary design. Roughly every four years the reward paid to miners halves,
cutting the rate of new issuance. The April 2024 halving dropped it to 3.125 BTC per
block. Articles here cover the halving schedule, the 21 million cap, and the UTXO model
that tracks who owns what.

Network and technology. Bitcoin still runs on proof of work, so miners compete with
hardware for the right to add each block. This track covers mining economics, hash
rate, the Lightning Network for fast low-cost payments, and inscriptions — the practice
of embedding data in individual satoshis.

Markets and institutional access. US spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading in January 2024,
giving institutions direct price exposure without holding keys. Coverage here tracks
ETF structure, halving cycle history, and how BTC trades against the rest of the market.

Every guide here explains the mechanism, not just the headline.

Dogecoin started as a joke in December 2013 — two engineers, Billy Markus and Jackson
Palmer, put a Shiba Inu meme on a fork of existing coin code to parody crypto
speculation. The parody outlived most of what it was parodying. More than a decade
later DOGE still sits among the largest cryptocurrencies, which makes it worth
understanding on its actual mechanics rather than the meme alone. This hub collects
MEXC Learn's Dogecoin coverage.

Start with the design if you are new, because it is genuinely different from Bitcoin's
in ways that matter. From there the coverage splits three ways.

Supply and issuance. Dogecoin has no supply cap. Every block adds a fixed 10,000 DOGE
— roughly five billion new coins a year, forever. That sounds inflationary because it
is, but the fixed absolute number means the inflation rate falls every year as the
base grows. Whether that design is a flaw or a feature for a currency meant to be
spent is one of the longest-running arguments in crypto, and it is covered here
properly.

Network and mining. DOGE is proof of work, mined together with Litecoin through merged
mining since 2014 — Litecoin miners secure both chains at once, which is why a joke
coin has serious hash rate behind it.

Culture and markets. Dogecoin's price history is inseparable from social momentum,
celebrity attention and tipping culture. This track covers that history honestly,
including the first US Dogecoin ETFs, which began trading in 2025.

Ethereum is the blockchain most of crypto is actually built on. Bitcoin stores value;
Ethereum runs code — the smart contracts behind DeFi, stablecoins, NFTs, and the
majority of tokens trading today. This hub collects MEXC Learn's Ethereum coverage,
from first-principles explainers to breakdowns of network upgrades and ETF mechanics.

New to ETH? Start with how Ethereum differs from Bitcoin, what Ether is actually used
for, and why the network charges gas fees denominated in gwei. From there the coverage
splits three ways.

Network and technology. Ethereum stopped being a mined chain in September 2022, when
The Merge replaced miners with validators staking ETH. Later upgrades kept reshaping
the economics — Dencun, in March 2024, introduced blob storage and cut Layer 2
transaction costs sharply. Articles here cover proof of stake, ETH 2.0 terminology,
rollups, and what each upgrade changed in practice.

DeFi and applications. Ethereum settles trades on decentralized exchanges, collateral
in lending markets, and the liquid restaking products built on top of both. This track
explains how those mechanisms work rather than just naming them.

Markets and institutional access. US spot Ethereum ETFs began trading in July 2024,
opening ETH exposure to investors who will never touch a wallet. Coverage here tracks
ETF structure, staking yield, gas fee cycles, and how ETH trades against BTC.

Every guide is written for readers who want the mechanism, not just the headline.

Everyone starts somewhere, and crypto is unusually unforgiving of guessing. A transfer
sent to the wrong address cannot be recalled. A leveraged position can close itself
while you sleep. This hub collects MEXC Learn's beginner material in the order it is
actually useful, rather than the order it was published.

Work through it in four stages.

First, the vocabulary. What a blockchain actually records, what a wallet holds, and why
a private key is nothing like a password. Skipping this makes everything after it
harder than it needs to be.

Second, custody and security. Where your assets sit when they are on an exchange versus
in your own wallet, what identity verification is for, and how to recognise the scams
that specifically target new accounts. This stage prevents more losses than any trading
skill will.

Third, your first trade. Funding an account, what a spot order does, reading a price
chart well enough not to be misled by one, and deciding how much to start with. The
honest answer to that last question is: an amount whose total loss would change nothing
about your month.

Fourth, what to leave alone for now. Leverage, futures and high-yield offers are not
beginner tools. MEXC Learn covers all three elsewhere, and the guides here will tell you
when you are ready.

Most expensive mistakes in crypto come from skipping stages, not from picking the wrong
asset.
