Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and peer-to-peer payment system introduced in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates without a central authority, using cryptographic proof and a distributed ledger known as blockchain to validate transactions. As a cryptocurrency, Bitcoin serves as a medium of exchange and a store of value, divisible into 100 million units called satoshis. The blockchain technology records all transactions chronologically and immutably. Participants can engage in mining, where they use computational power to validate transactions and earn rewards. Key features of Bitcoin include its decentralization, fixed supply capped at 21 million coins, and pseudonymity, where transactions are linked to cryptographic addresses rather than personal identities. Bitcoin is utilized by individuals for cross-border payments and as an inflation hedge, while some businesses accept it for goods and services. Institutional investors are also increasingly holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
