+The bitcoin platform displays various details about the [Bitcoin](https://bitcoin.org) network.
+
+If you have an online wallet from [Blockchain.info](https://blockchain.info/) the sensor is capable to show your current balance.
+
+To add the Bitcoin sensor to your installation, add a selection of the available display options to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  platform: bitcoin
+  wallet: 'YOUR WALLET_ID'
+  password: YOUR_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD
+  currency: YOUR CURRENCY
+  display_options:
