What is Bitcoin?

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables new payment systems and money that are entirely digital. Bitcoin is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is fully controlled by its users without central or intermediary authority. From the user's point of view, Bitcoin is similar to cash in the internet world. Bitcoin can also be viewed as the most prominent record keeping system currently available.

Sort:  

Bitcoin is a digital asset developed in 2009 by someone under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto. This digital asset is like gold, but only available in the digital world. The concept may sound like eGold, although it is actually much different.

Bitcoin as a digital asset has the following features:

Instant transfer in peer to peer.

Peer-to-peer itself means Bitcoin runs without having a central server. The storage servers are decentralized and distributed-divided into the various servers run by each user connected to the network.

Transfer to anywhere

Unlike gold, Bitcoin can be sent anywhere in seconds, whenever and wherever you want. Shipping with Bitcoin can happen only with a smartphone's capital and internet connection.

Transfer fee is very small.

Shipping costs can be eliminated until free, but to speed up transactions, your Bitcoin wallet will usually cost you around 500 - 3,000 rupiah, no matter how many bitcoins are shipped.

The transaction is irreversible, meaning once transferred it can not be canceled.

Bitcoin is given to someone else's hand, the transaction can not be canceled unless the person is willing to send the Bitcoin back;

Bitcoin transactions are pseudonymous.

All transactions ever done at once Bitcoin balances possessed by someone we can see, but we do not know who the owner of the Bitcoin address if the owner does not tell it. Each Bitcoin user can actually choose whether or not his name will appear, but even if the user wants to keep his identity secret, all transactions are kept public and recorded.

Bitcoin is not controlled by any agency or government.

Bitcoin using the Blockchain database is not controlled by a party, but is so open to the public that it is impossible for someone to forge transactions in Blockchain. All transactions are recorded live, transparent, and spread over millions of servers. Those who want to alter or falsify Bitcoin transaction data, must hack millions of servers at the same time.

The amount is limited

Bitcoin supply will only be 21 million Bitcoin worldwide. Bitcoin's system of declining creation every four years resembles an economic system based on deflation and with the increasing supply of bitcoin, bitcoin prices tend to rise.

You can transfer bitcoin to anywhere in the world as long as it is connected to the internet. Bitcoin will be stored into the Bitcoin Wallet. This wallet must be installed on both sides, can be with PC / laptop, tablet or smartphone. After installing the wallet, you will get a Bitcoin Address. For bitcoin transfer is very easy, open the wallet application, input Bitcoin Address of the transaction opponent and the number of bitcoin you want to transfer, then send.

Then you may ask, if there is no bank or company that manage as well as paypal or egold, then financial data stored where? The answer, on your own computer (in wallet) and peer to peer network around the world. Bitcoin is stored on your computer inside the wallet. If your computer is damaged your bitcoin is gone, so bitcoin wallet must be backed up regularly to some devices. When making transactions, tens of thousands of computers in the bitcoin network will verify the data you input so there is no cheating.

Bitcoin is digital currency build on blockchain . And its a decentralized currency more secure than fiat currency . 21 million bitcoin will be mined and that is the beauty of this coin because there is limit on coin supply. So there is no needs to worry about over printing supply . The price of bitcoin will be increased day by day because of low coin supply . Low supply means in feature bitcoin demand will be increased. And its distributed system running on internet. No one can stop bitcoin if you want to stop bitcoin you needs To stop entire internet . So because of all this resins bitcoin prices will sky rocket in near feauture

Bitcoin is an electronic money made in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. The name is also associated with the open source software that he designed, and also uses a peer-to-peer network without centralized storage or a single administrator where the US Treasury calls the bitcoins of a decentralized currency. Unlike most common currencies, bitcoin does not depend on trusting major publishers. Bitcoin uses a database that is distributed and spreads to the nodes of a P2P network to a transaction journal, and uses cryptography to provide basic security functions, such as ensuring that bitcoins can only be spent by people owning them, and never be done more from one time. The design of Bitcoin allows for anonymous ownership and transfer of wealth. Bitcoin - bitcoin can be stored on a personal computer in a wallet file format or stored by a third party wallet service, and apart from all that bitcoin can be sent over the internet to anyone with a Bitcoin address. The peer-to-peer bitcoin topology and the lack of a single administration make it impossible for any governmental authority to manipulate the value of bitcoin - bitcoin or cause inflation by producing more bitcoin.

A pure peer-to-peer electronic cash version will allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through financial institutions.

Have you ever imagined how the transaction system (selling, buying, money transfer) happens? Yes there is always a third party who becomes a mediator, for example: bank (bank transfer), Visa, Mastercard, Paypal and so on.


Have you (from Indonesia) ever bought items on Amazon or Paypal? What about the payment system abroad? For example, if you use a credit card with a Visa logo, how about that payment can work?
