What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a digital currency constructed from computer code. Unlike traditional currencies like the US dollar or euro, it operates independently of any central bank or government backing. Instead, Bitcoin is managed by its user community, which oversees and regulates the currency.

Proponents argue that this decentralised structure makes Bitcoin a more efficient alternative to traditional money, insulated from governmental actions such as currency devaluation intended to bolster trade. Similar to other currencies, Bitcoin can be utilised for transactions involving goods and services or exchanged for other currencies, provided the receiving party agrees to accept it.

Where does it originate?

Bitcoin (BTC)was introduced in 2009 through encrypted software created by an individual or group operating under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2022, Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright claimed to be the original creator of Bitcoin, although his assertion has faced scepticism.

Since Bitcoin’s inception, numerous other cryptocurrencies have emerged; however, BTC remains the most recognised and is experiencing increasing acceptance among merchants for payment transactions.

Transactions are validated through encrypted codes shared across a computer network, which collectively track them to ensure that no BTC is spent more than once. Users can “mine” new Bitcoins by engaging in complex computational processes; however, the system limits the total supply to 21 million Bitcoins, establishing a cap on its availability.
