What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the first and most famous cryptocurrency launched in 2009 by a person (or group) known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin aims to be a decentralized electronic payment system, meaning it is not controlled by a central bank or government, but relies on a network of computers around the world called the blockchain.
How does it work?
When a transaction is made with Bitcoin, it is recorded in a public digital ledger known as the blockchain. Transactions are verified by users known as "miners," who use high computational power to solve complex mathematical problems in exchange for Bitcoin rewards.
Why is Bitcoin important?
Decentralization: No one controls it.
Scarcity: The number of Bitcoins is limited to 21 million only.
Transparency: All transactions are recorded and can be seen by anyone.
Protection from inflation: More cannot be printed as happens with fiat currencies.
Uses
Bitcoin is used for trading, investing, paying for certain services, or as an asset to protect wealth in some countries facing economic problems.
