Bitcoin

Bitcoin è il pioniere delle blockchain e delle criptovalute, introdotto nel white paper pubblicato nel 2008 da una persona o un gruppo di persone apparentemente pseudonimi noto come Satoshi Nakamoto. Il documento descriveva un metodo peer-to-peer per trasferire denaro senza l’utilizzo di istituzioni finanziarie. La criptovaluta nota come bitcoin o BTC è stato lanciato nel 2009. Le transazioni sono registrate su un registro pubblico (un blockchain) da entità conosciute come minatori che si impegnano nel processo chiamato proof-of-work. I miner vengono ricompensati per questo ottenendo bitcoin appena coniati. Alcuni sostenitori considerano BTC un'alternativa alle valute fiat e una copertura contro l'inflazione. Bitcoin ha ispirato la creazione di numerose altre criptovalute e progetti blockchain.
