Intro

Bitcoin (BTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that aims to serve as a medium of exchange independent of central authorities. BTC can be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable, and immutable manner.

Launched in 2009, BTC was the first virtual currency to solve the double-spending problem by timestamping transactions before broadcasting them to all nodes on the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin protocol offered a solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem with a blockchain network structure, a notion first created by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta in 1991.

The Bitcoin white paper was published in 2008 by a person, or perhaps a group of people, under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto", whose underlying identity has yet to be verified.

The Bitcoin protocol uses a proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm based on SHA-256d to achieve consensus on the network. Its network has a target block time of 10 minutes and a maximum supply of 21 million tokens, with a declining token issuance rate. To avoid block time fluctuation, the network's block difficulty is readjusted through an algorithm based on the block time of the last 2016 blocks.
