Created in 2009 by an anonymous person using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin operates on a blockchain, a public ledger that records all transactions in the network.
Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is finite, with a limited supply of 21 million bitcoins. It can be sent and received globally in minutes, and the transaction fees are lower than traditional payment methods.
One of the main applications of Bitcoin is as a store of value, similar to gold or other precious metals. Bitcoin's limited supply and high demand have led to its increasing value over time, making it an appealing investment for many people.
Bitcoin is also used for transactions, particularly in countries where traditional financial institutions are scarce or unreliable. It allows people to send payments directly to each other without the need for a middleman, and it is often faster and cheaper than traditional payment methods.
Another application of Bitcoin is as a means of payment for goods and services. Many businesses, both online and offline, accept Bitcoin as a form of payment, allowing customers to purchase products and services using their bitcoin holdings.
Overall, Bitcoin's main applications include as a store of value, a means of transaction, and a method of payment for goods and services. Its decentralized nature, limited supply, and global accessibility have made it increasingly popular among investors, consumers, and businesses alike.
