What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital currency that is used and distributed electronically. Bitcoin is a decentralized peer-to-peer network. No single person or institution controls it.
Bitcoin cannot be printed and its quantity is very limited – only 21 million Bitcoins can ever be created. Bitcoin was first introduced as open-source software by an anonymous programmer or group of programmers under the codename Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009.
There have been many rumors about the real identity of the creator of BTC, however, all of the people mentioned in these rumors have publicly denied being Nakamoto.
Nakamoto himself claimed to be a 37-year-old man living in Japan. However, because his English is perfect and his software was not developed in Japanese, there are doubts about this information. Around mid-2010, Nakamoto moved on to other things and left Bitcoin in the hands of a few prominent members of the BTC community.
For many people, the main advantage of Bitcoin is its independence from world governments, banks, and corporations. No authority can interfere with BTC transactions, impose transaction fees, or take money from people. In addition, the Bitcoin movement is extremely transparent - every single transaction is stored on a large, public, distributed ledger called the Blockchain.
