Bitcoin: The Leading Digital Currency and the Foundation of the Digital Revolution

Bitcoin (BTC) is not just a digital currency; it is the foundation upon which the cryptocurrency revolution was built. It was launched in 2009 by an unknown person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto, introducing a new concept of decentralized money.

* How does Bitcoin work?

Bitcoin relies on blockchain technology, a network of computers that maintain a copy of all transactions ever made. These transactions are grouped into "blocks" and encrypted, linking them together in a sequential manner, making it almost impossible to tamper with the information. The network is secured through a process called "mining," where miners compete to solve complex mathematical problems to verify transactions and add them to the blockchain, being rewarded with new bitcoins.

* Features of Bitcoin:

* Decentralization: Bitcoin is not subject to the control of any central bank or government, giving users greater control over their funds.

* Transparency: All transactions are publicly recorded on the blockchain (but the identities of the parties are anonymous).

* Security: The use of strong encryption makes Bitcoin very secure against fraud.

* Scarcity: The maximum number of bitcoins that can be produced is 21 million, making it a rare asset that may increase in value over time.
