✅ What is Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency (cryptocurrency).
It was introduced in a 2008 white paper by a pseudonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto, and the network began in 2009.
Its design goal: allow peer-to-peer transactions without needing a bank or central authority.
There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins (the supply limit built into the protocol).
