What is Bitcoin?Bitcoin is a digital asset developed in 2009 by someone under the pseudonym of
Satoshi Nakamoto. This digital asset is like gold, but only available in the digital world. The concept may sound like eGold, although it is actually much different.
Bitcoin as a digital asset has the following features:
1.
Instant transfer in peer to peer.Peer-to-peer itself means Bitcoin runs without having a central server. The storage servers are decentralized and distributed-shared to the various servers run by each user connected to the network.
2.
Transfer to anywhereUnlike gold, Bitcoin can be sent anywhere in seconds, whenever and wherever you want. Shipping with Bitcoin can happen only with a smartphone's capital and internet connection.
3.
The transaction is irreversible, meaning once transferred it can not be canceled.Bitcoin is given to someone else's hand, the transaction can not be canceled unless the person is willing to send the Bitcoin back.
4.
Bitcoin is not controlled by any agency or government.Bitcoin using the Blockchain database is not controlled by a party, but is so open to the public that it is impossible for someone to forge transactions in Blockchain. All transactions are recorded live, transparent, and spread over millions of servers. Those who want to alter or falsify Bitcoin transaction data, must hack millions of servers at the same time.
so little do I know about Bitcoin.
