Bitcoin is a digital currency that runs on a public, shared network instead of a bank or government. It launched in January 2009, based on a nine-page paper published in 2008 under the name Satoshi Nakamoto, whose real identity is still unknown. The big idea was simple but powerful: let people send value to each other over the internet without needing a trusted middleman to approve the transaction. This guide explains, in everyday language, what Bitcoin actually is, how it works under the hood, and the practical things a newcomer should understand before going further.
