A Digital Currency
Bitcoin is a digital currency, meaning it is produced and distributed electronically. Unlike physical money, you\’ll never hold Bitcoin in your hand, unless it is simply a representation of your purchase. Many people also don\’t realize that the amount of Bitcoin that is produced has a cap; only 21 million Bitcoins can ever be created!
The Creator of Bitcoin
Bitcoin was founded in 2009 by an anonymous programmer or a group of programmers under the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Although the exact identity of Nakamoto has never been revealed, it is estimated that he owns about one million Bitcoins.
The Controller of Bitcoin
There is no one single owner of Bitcoin, as it is its own network. This is ideal for consumers because it gives them total control over their finances. There is a public ledger behind Bitcoin called the blockchain, which contains every transaction that has ever been processed.
Besides being decentralized, other characteristics of Bitcoin include anonymity, transparency, fast transactions, and no refunds.
