Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency created in 2009 by an individual or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates without a central authority or central bank and relies on blockchain technology that allows for secure and transparent transaction recording. Bitcoin can be acquired through mining or by purchasing and trading on cryptocurrency exchanges. It is used for purchases, international transfers, and also as an investment tool. The number of bitcoins is limited to 21 million, which gives it a scarcity that increases its value. Despite its price volatility, some see it as the future of money, while others view it as a highly speculative and unstable asset.
