WHAT IS BITCOIN? DEFINITION ESSAY


Bitcoin is an open source peer to peer payment network and digital currency. It was invented in 2009 by incognito developer Satoshi Nakamoto. It goes into circulation without being connected to any central authority. We can invest or purchase goods and services with Bitcoin. Yet are there any potential pitfalls?
