Bitcoin was the first significant cryptocurrency created. This digital currency was developed anonymously by Satoshi Nakamoto (pseudonym). Bitcoin is a digital currency that allows anyone to store, send and receive BTC from a Bitcoin wallet.
Bitcoin uses a decentralized public ledger known as the blockchain to keep track of all accounts and balances. Users can send funds by writing transactions to the blockchain when using a Bitcoin wallet. Those transactions are sent to miners with fees to pay the miners, who will verify the transaction to be added to the public ledger, making the transaction complete.
