Bitcoin is a digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, with a structure that has no central authority issuing or managing the currency. Instead, Bitcoin transactions are carried out by a P2P-based distributed database and performed using public-key cryptography. Bitcoin is public in nature. Bitcoins are stored in the form of wallet files, each wallet is assigned its own unique address, and Bitcoin transactions take place based on that address. Bitcoin is one of the first implementations of the concept of cryptocurrency, which Wei Dai posted to the cypherpunks mailing list in 1998.
