What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold,” is the first digital currency and it uses blockchain technology to manage a decentralized immutable ledger. Bitcoin is not controlled by any central authority and has a shared record of every transaction ever made. Bitcoins don’t need to go through a bank or clearinghouse to transfer funds since they are transferred directly from user to user. Some benefits of using Bitcoin versus a traditional bank are:
1. Lower fees
2. Assets can be transferred between countries
3. Accounts can’t be frozen
4. No prerequisites or arbitrary limits
