Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority or government. It was invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009. Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. It allows peer-to-peer transactions across the globe, offering low fees and high security. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it a scarce asset. It is widely considered both a currency and a store of value, often compared to digital gold.
