Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a blockchain network, created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are verified by network participants called miners, who solve complex mathematical puzzles to add blocks of transactions to the blockchain. This process, known as mining, also introduces new bitcoins into circulation. Bitcoin's limited supply of 21 million coins and its cryptographic security features make it a unique and innovative form of money, stored in digital wallets and accessible via unique addresses. Despite its potential benefits, Bitcoin's value can be volatile, and caution is advised when investing in cryptocurrencies.
