About
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, or cryptocurrency, that operates without a central bank or single administrator. Transactions are recorded on a public distributed ledger called a blockchain, and new units are generated through a process known as mining.
It is used for peer-to-peer transactions, investments, and as a store of value. Bitcoin is for individuals and businesses seeking an alternative to traditional fiat currencies, those interested in digital assets, and participants in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
