What? Bitcoin?!

Do you know what a Bitcoin is?



Bitcoin (sign: BTC) is a decentralized digital currency based on an open-source protocol that was created by a p'seudonymous devgeloper namedSatoshi Nakamoto One bitcoin is divided into 100-million smaller units called satoshis. There is a hard limit of 21-million bitcoins in total, which are released at a scheduled rate until the year 2140.
Internationally, bitcoins can be exchanged by personal computer directly through a wallet file or a website. They can also be exchanged through physical banknotes and coins.
Unlike most currencies bitcoin does not rely on a central issuer, like a central bank or government. Instead, bitcoin uses a transaction log across a peer-to-peer computer network to record transactions, verify  them and prevent double spending. The verification process awards effective bitcoin nodes or "bitcoin miners" with a limited release of bitcoins and transaction fees (if any). This process requires intense computing power, electricity and significant investment as it solves hashes through brute force to verify transactions and add them to the network's transaction log.
As of January 2013, bitcoin is the most widely used alternative currency: All bitcoins converted at the current market price would be worth over 200 million US dollars.
