According to the creator of the system — Satoshi Nakamoto — money should be freely (without external control) transferred from its owner to the recipient (who becomes the next owner) and to avoid inflation, any centralized money issuance should be canceled. This became the main principles of the Bitcoin system. New bitcoins appear exclusively according to an algorithm, which predetermined their quantity and appearance time, and which does not depend on the decisions of any government bodies, organizations, or individuals. Approximately every 10 minutes a new block is added to the blockchain and the one who generated it receives a fixed amount of bitcoins "from the system", meaning these are new bitcoins that did not exist before. Initially, this reward was 50 bitcoins (see also the Mining section)

In general, it is possible to obtain bitcoins in two ways: as a reward for generating the next block (mining) or from someone as a transfer to your address, for example, in exchange for traditional currency or provided goods (services).
