What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a digital currency that was created in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional currencies like the dollar or euro, Bitcoin is entirely digital and operates on a decentralized network, meaning it isn't governed by any single authority like a central bank. Transactions in Bitcoin are verified by a network of computers and are recorded on a public ledger known as the blockchain. This technology ensures that all transactions are transparent and secure.
One of the standout features of Bitcoin's technology is its use of cryptography, which is a method of protecting information by converting it into a secure code. When you make a transaction in Bitcoin, it's cryptographically signed to ensure only the rightful owner can spend their bitcoins. This adds an extra layer of security and prevents fraud or unauthorized access.
Additionally, the decentralized network on which Bitcoin operates is maintained by individuals known as "miners." Bitcoin mining is a process where powerful computers are used to solve complex mathematical equations that validate and secure each transaction on the blockchain. Once a transaction is added to the blockchain, it's practically irreversible, making it extremely secure against tampering or hacking.
This blend of decentralization and cryptographic security makes Bitcoin not just an alternative form of currency, but a fundamentally safer and more transparent way to conduct transactions.
