What is Bitcoin?

Created in 2009, Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, a type of digital money that is currently used by more than 25 million users worldwide to transfer and safeguard value, to make purchases and payments, and even to save.

How does Bitcoin work?

Transactions in bitcoins (or BTC) are recorded in a computer accounting system that operates between people (P2P), without intermediaries validating the transactions.

The network where these transactions take place is protected with cryptography. Additionally, the ledger is distributed simultaneously to all connected computers. This makes the system extremely difficult to breach, and much more stable and resistant to cyber attacks, counterfeiting, and embezzlement.
