Based on free market ideology, Bitcoin was invented in 2008 by an anonymous person known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin began to be used as a currency in 2009, when its application was released as open-source software. In 2021, El Salvador adopted it as legal tender. It is often considered an investment and has been described by many academics as an economic bubble. Since Bitcoin is used under pseudonyms, it has been used by criminals, which has drawn the attention of regulatory authorities.
