Bitcoin News
While traditional finance and fiat currencies ruled the global economy, the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin (BTC), the pioneer cryptocurrency, in 2009. While Bitcoin remained an alien in the initial phase without much recognition, it soon emerged as a game changer, revolutionizing the financial sector.
Do you know how Bitcoin overpowered traditional finance? With the decentralized payment network that eliminates the need for a third party!
Created, distributed, and stored on a decentralized ledger called blockchain, Bitcoin leverages the peer-to-peer (p2p) technology. To be simple, Bitcoin is open-source, meaning the crypto eliminates the presence of a central authority such as banks.
Named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the smallest unit of Bitcoin is called satoshi. Notably, 1 satoshi is 0.00000001 BTC.
Bitcoin is not only known as a pioneer crypto, but it is also praised by many experts for its store of value and is considered a hedge against inflation. Read more on CryptoTale to learn how Bitcoin influences the crypto market and the global economy.
