Bitcoin is the most important cryptocurrency (virtual currency) today. Increasingly accepted worldwide, it can be used to buy products and services.
Each bitcoin is like a file stored in a 'digital wallet', whether on a mobile phone, a computer, or a tablet. People and companies can transfer bitcoins or a portion of a bitcoin between different digital wallets.
Each of these transactions is recorded in a public list called blockchain. In this way, the history of a bitcoin can be traced to prevent theft, counterfeit copies, or reverse transactions.
There are three main ways to obtain a bitcoin. They can be purchased using real money (dollars, for example); goods and services can be sold and paid for in bitcoin; and they can be 'mined' (created as it's called in cryptocurrency market jargon) on a computer.
