Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, operating independently of central banks. Created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, it utilizes blockchain technology, a distributed ledger, to record transactions. This ensures transparency and security.
Key features include:
* Decentralization: No single entity controls it.
* Limited Supply: Capped at 21 million coins, creating scarcity.
* Blockchain: A public, immutable record of all transactions.
* Mining: A process where computers solve complex problems to validate transactions and create new coins.
Bitcoin's use has evolved from peer-to-peer transactions to a store of value and investment asset.
