Bitcoin

Ang Bitcoin ay ang pioneer ng mga blockchain at cryptocurrencies, na ipinakilala sa isang puting papel na inilabas noong 2008 ng isang tila pseudonymous na tao o grupo ng mga tao na kilala bilang Satoshi Nakamoto. Inilarawan ng dokumento ang isang peer-to-peer na paraan ng paglilipat ng pera nang hindi gumagamit ng mga institusyong pinansyal. Ang Cryptocurrency na kilala bilang Bitcoin o BTC debuted noong 2009. Ang mga transaksyon ay naitala sa isang pampublikong ledger (a blockchain) ng mga entity na kilala bilang mga minero na nakikibahagi sa proseso na tinatawag patunay-ng-trabaho. Ang mga minero ay ginagantimpalaan para sa paggawa nito sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng bagong minted Bitcoin. Tinitingnan ng ilang tagapagtaguyod ang BTC bilang isang alternatibo sa fiat currency at isang hedge laban sa inflation. Ang Bitcoin ay nagbigay inspirasyon sa paglikha ng maraming iba pang mga cryptocurrencies at mga proyekto ng blockchain.
