Bitcoin or also known as BTC is the first open-source, peer-to-peer digital cryptocurrency developed and launched by a group of unknown independent programmers named Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Bitcoin has no centralized server used for its issuance, transactions and storage, since it uses a public distributed network database technology called blockchain, which requires an electronic signature and is backed by a working test protocol to provide the security and legitimacy of monetary transactions. Bitcoin is issued by users with mining capabilities and is limited to 21 million coins. Currently, Bitcoin’s market capitalization exceeds $ 138 billion and this is the most popular digital currency class. The purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies is available through special platforms of Bitcoin bags or ATMs.
