About Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the world's largest cryptocurrency project. The bitcoin (BTC) cryptocurrency was the first of its kind to be built on blockchain technology. Launched in 2009 by an anonymous developer under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin remains the most widely accepted and traded cryptocurrency today. Like the cryptocurrencies that followed it, Bitcoin was created to provide a decentralized electronic cash system that operates without the intervention of a centralized authority. A global team of developers constantly works on improving Bitcoin and its underlying technology.

How does Bitcoin work?

The Bitcoin network is a decentralized virtual currency system that operates without a central bank, government authority, or middleman. Instead, it uses concepts from cryptography, computer science, and game theory to maintain a decentralized network of computers around the world that collectively uphold the integrity of the system.

This globally distributed community of nodes is what makes up the Bitcoin network. Each node plays an important role in helping to maintain the network and validate transactions. Because there are multiple copies of the Bitcoin blockchain spread across multiple nodes, there is no central authority that controls the blockchain.

Anyone in the world can run their own node and participate in managing the Bitcoin network. Every node maintains their own copy of the bitcoin blockchain, which is an unchangeable ledger of cryptocurrency transactions.
