What is Bitcoin?


Bitcoin is a digital cryptographic currency that fulfills the basic chacteristics required of any medium of exchange: they are divisible, there is a limited quantity in existence, they are fungible, and they are convenient to use. Bitcoins have no intrinsic value other than their use as a medium of exchange, but there is a large and growing number of businesses and individuals that accept bitcoins in payment for products and services.

The bitcoin network (as well as the networks of other cryptocurrencies) use peer-to-peer technology, and thus have no bank or other central authority in charge of either issuance or control of transfers of the currency. The cost of transferring bitcoins between users is small to non-existent, and are finalized much more quickly than transfers of national currences.

Many foresee a bitcoin-based financial system as one that could continue to function even after the breakdown of the current system of fiat currencies managed by national governments and their central banks. However there is no guarantee that bitcoin will be successful on a long-term basis. A wide spectrum of interpretations regarding bitcoin can be made, from it being practically a ponzi-scheme, to that it will eventually disrupt and supplant force-backed national fiat currencies.

For now, however, bitcoins do have an undeniably legitimate and expanding use as a transactional mechanism.
