Will Bitcoin Overtake Paypal?
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency that functions without the intermediation of a central authority.The concept was introduced in a 2008 paper by a pseudonymous developer known as "Satoshi Nakamoto".
Bitcoin has been called a cryptocurrency because it is decentralized and uses cryptography to control transactions and prevent double-spending, a problem for digital currencies. Once validated, every individual transaction is permanently recorded in a public ledger known as the blockchain.[2] Payment processing is done by a network of private computers often specially tailored to this task.[4] The operators of these computers, known as "miners", are rewarded with transaction fees and newly minted Bitcoins. However, new bitcoins are created at an ever-decreasing rate.
