Bitcoin is a consensus protocol that enables a new
financial system based upon a completely digital asset.
It
is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network
that is powered by its users with no central authority or
middlemen.
Bitcoin is open-source, its design is public, nobody
owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take
part.
From a user perspective, Bitcoin is pretty much like cash for
the Internet.
Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any
previous financial system.
