Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and international currency payment system created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. It is also the name of the open source software project developed for the use of this coin. By convention, if the term Bitcoin is used with a capital initial it refers to the technology and the network, while if the term Bitcoin is used in lowercase (bitcoin) it refers to the currency itself. Bitcoin does not use a central body or sophisticated financial mechanisms; the value is determined solely by supply and demand. It uses a database that tracks transactions and uses cryptography to manage functional aspects.

In general, Bitcoin, being a cryptocurrency, protects against inflation, since a maximum ceiling is set on the circulation of the currency at a given moment. It favors the freedom of payment, as Bitcoin can be used regardless of the borders between countries and continents, thus also contributing to a certain ease of use.

 Basically, you can use Bitcoin to send or receive any amount of money securely, with anyone, anywhere in the world, at very low cost.
