What is Bitcoin (BTC)?

Bitcoin is a decentralized form of digital money that can be sent or received over the internet. The bitcoin white paper that outlined the concept of bitcoin was first published in 2008 by an anonymous user that went by the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto. Since bitcoin is decentralized, it utilizes peer-to-peer technology, therefore removing the involvement of middlemen such as banks and governments. Bitcoin transactions can also be anonymous as they don’t require identification due to the lack of a principle validator. Every transaction is tracked on a public ledger called a blockchain, with each block being made up by a collection of transactions; these transactions are verified and approved by bitcoin “miners” who are compensated with bitcoin for their work. The creation of Bitcoin has paved the way for all cryptocurrencies and changed the future of digital currency.
