I have been reading some posts in this section about bitcoin But I never understand any reply about it because of the reason that we did not even know that where the bitcoin comes from and who is the real owner and so many question related to that.

Anyone who has answer is welcome.

Bitcoin is the first implementation of a concept called "cryptocurrency", first described in 1998 by Wei Dai in the cypherpunks mailing list, suggesting the idea of a new form of money that uses cryptography to control manufacture and transactions, instead of using centralized authority. The first Bitcoin specification and proof of concept were published in 2009 in a cryptographic mailing list by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi left the project at the end of 2010 without telling much about him. Bitcoin community is growing rapidly as many developers are working on Bitcoin.
Satoshi's anonymity often leads to false concerns, mostly related to a misunderstanding of the nature of open source-based Bitcoins. BItcoin protocols and software are publicly published and developers from around the world can review the code or create their own modified version of Bitcoin software. As with current developers, Satoshi's influence is limited to some of the changes he created and adopted by other developers, and he does not control Bitcoin. Thus, finding the identity of the inventor of Bitcoin is now just like finding the identity of the inventor of the newspaper.
