Background And Design Of Bitcoin
Bitcoin is described on the same page as a decentralized cryptocurrency originally set out in a 2008 whitepaper by a person or group using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto.
The page reports that Bitcoin was launched soon after the whitepaper, in January 2009, marking the start of its live operation.
It defines Bitcoin as a peer to peer online currency, meaning transactions occur directly between equal and independent network participants without an intermediary.
The site quotes Nakamoto, saying Bitcoin was created to allow "online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution," reflecting the protocol's stated goal.
The page also notes that while some concepts for a similar decentralized currency preceded Bitcoin, Bitcoin holds the distinction of being the first cryptocurrency to come into actual use.
