What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that exists through a cloud-network known as the blockchain.

The blockchain is a transparent ledger of all the transactions that ever occur on the bitcoin network.

Bitcoin is open-source, meaning anyone can view the source code.

There is a set amount of Bitcoin that will ever be in circulation: 21 million coins.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoins are created through a process known as mining, essentially trading computing power for currency value. Bitcoin is secured through public key cryptography, using Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)

Current block reward is 25 coins per 10 minutes, it will half approximately every four years.

We will reach 21 million coins by approximately 2140. Bitcoin is increasingly divisible in measurement.

The Future of BitcoinPaper cash will most likely become a rarity as fast, efficient, decentralized electronic-cash payments will become the popular standard, eliminating a clunky and outdated method of transferring value (physical cash). Wire transfers, checks, ACH/Debit transfers will also be eliminated in this same fashion.

With it's self-regulating algorithm, it sets a clear international standard of value. This value will become stable overtime as the quality of services increase and Bitcoin scarcity increases. This alone is the main reason why Bitcoin and the methods for digital currency will become a staple in the near future and inevitably change the face of business as we know it.
