What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital decentralized currency where everyone has the same rights and privileges and which works thanks to a P2P network. The only difference with fiat currencies is that BTC does not exist in physical form. It is a digital currency that exists only in the blockchain that supports it. Each Bitcoin, or part of it, is unique because each transaction is publicly recorded (though without personal data) in a large digital "ledger" made up of complex cryptographic structures called a “blockchain”. This is why Bitcoin is called "cryptocurrency" and is the first of its kind.

Who Created Bitcoin?
History officially records Satoshi Nakamoto as the father and inventor of Bitcoin. His name first came to light in October 2009, when a whitepaper on the concept of a cryptocurrency called Bitcoin was firstly published online. It is still not clear if it’s a person or a group of people. The goal described was to use it as a payment method outside of government control, with no transfer delays or transaction fees. However, six years after the initial publication of documentation, American resources in the face of Wired conducted their own investigation, which tried to figure out who the creator of this cryptocurrency is. They suggested that the famous entrepreneur Craig Wright was the man behind the creation of Bitcoin. In order to confirm this theory, Wright had to provide an electronic signature of the first bitcoin transaction, which he did not do. So, a significant percentage of the crypto community considers that this information is not correct. By the way, Craig Wright is the inventor of Bitcoin Cash.
