About Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the first of many digital currencies that utilise blockchain technology.

First described by Satoshi Nakamoto in his whitepaper “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” in 2008, Bitcoin allows the transfer of digital value among participants who do not know one another without the assistance of a central intermediary.
