The Basics of Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates independently of banks or governments. It was created in 2009 by an unknown person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are recorded on a public digital ledger called blockchain, which ensures transparency and security. Bitcoins are stored in digital wallets and can be bought and sold through various exchanges. The supply of bitcoins is limited to 21 million, with about 18.5 million already in circulation.
The Pros and Cons of Bitcoin
One of the major advantages of bitcoin is its potential for lower transaction fees and a faster transfer process compared to traditional banking methods. It also offers greater privacy and can be a valuable hedge against inflation. However, bitcoin's decentralized nature also means that it is not backed by any government or institution. This can lead to market volatility and security risks, as there is no way to restore lost or stolen Bitcoins. Additionally, its mysterious creator and history of use in illegal activities have raised concerns among regulators and financial institutions worldwide.
