Bitcoin was created as a way for people to participate in financial transactions without relying on banks or governments. It is based on the idea of peer-to-peer, which is derived from the method of data transfer over the internet known as torrenting, where files are shared through a decentralized sharing network of users from peer to peer. For example, if you want to download a file from the internet, instead of downloading it from a specific server that grants or denies you access, or monitors you, torrent programs split files into pieces and transfer them to devices that have already downloaded the file. When you want to download the file, they all become providers for you, and as soon as the first piece is downloaded to your device, you too become a provider for those who come after you. You all have the file, and you all know that there are those who provide us with the pieces and those who receive them, without knowing exactly who. The file eventually reaches its destination.
