Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) is the original cryptocurrency, developed by a person (or a group of people) under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto. The cryptocurrency has neither a central issuer nor central authority and is governed by the community of its users. Bitcoin price is defined solely by the market, and users can buy Bitcoin via multiple services. The coin was released in 2008 and became a huge phenomenon for both the IT and the financial world. Bitcoin news became a major theme for the whole fintech industry. The Bitcoin to USD ratio is listed on almost every financial service. Bitcoin is maintained with the Proof-of-Work algorithm. It is a technology that requires users to provide their computing power to solve complex mathematical tasks in order to register and secure transactions. This process is called “Bitcoin mining”. A person who participates in Bitcoin mining is called a Bitcoin miner. While Bitcoin mining is performed, transactions are encrypted via the Sha-256 algorithm and registered on the computers of every peer which makes it virtually impossible to change any information within Bitcoin’s network.
