Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency - a type of digital asset that uses public-key cryptography to record, sign, and send transactions over the Bitcoin blockchain - all done without the oversight of a central authority.

The Bitcoin (capital “B”) network was launched in January 2009 by an anonymous computer programmer or group of programmers under the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto.” The network is a peer-to-peer electronic payment system that uses a cryptocurrency called bitcoin (lowercase “b”) to transfer value over the internet or act as a store of value like gold and silver.

Each bitcoin is made up of 100 million satoshis (the smallest units of bitcoin), making an individual bitcoin divisible to eight decimal places. This means that anyone can buy a fraction of a bitcoin with just one U.S. dollar. #bitcoin #minerar
