Bitcoin is a digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto in the year 2009. The name, however, has also been applied to the software that uses it and to the P2P network that's utilized. Unlike most currencies, Bitcoin doesn't depend on the confidence of a central issuer, but rather on a database distributed across a number of P2P network nodes that register all the transactions made.
Bitcoins can be stored on any device inside a digital wallet, or safeguarded by a third party that offers storage for files of this type. Be that as it may, you can send your bitcoins to any user who has a Bitcoin address, either to pay them or buy something.
'But what's the point of this virtual, almost futuristic currency?' some users might ask. Well, to buy stuff, of course. More and more businesses are allowing you to pay with it, including for video games, music, software, T-shirts, etc. The complete list is available on their website.
Additionally, the software's interface is very simple and clean. You'll see different tabs for sending and receiving coins, transactions, and a user guide that's always on hand.
Bitcoin in not a popular tool right now and it might sound strange for most users. But, who knows, perhaps in the near future it might become one of the most important currencies. The foundations have already been laid and the Bitcoin's economic rules established. Want to get involved?
