Bitcoin What is it, where did it come from, who started it ?
Questions like this are often quite common amongst a novice person like me. Who is very much alienate to the world of cryptocurrency. And has heard about it either from social media or a friend or may be just heard it over the news.
So, how do you find answers to these questions ?
In my opinion your very first approach should be a text book , and then internet. Why I suggest internet after the books because sometimes old school ways are the best ways. Internet is flooded with all sort of information about Bitcoin. Some useful some complicated. It all depends upon your search criteria and the information you are looking for.
Bitcoin is the brain child of Satoshi Nakamoto , who's identity till date remains a mystery. It has evaluated in terms of value, technology and security since its birth in 2008.
If I was to simplify Bitcoin in my own words that would be A decentralised way of transaction between just two people without the need of a third party.
I will be sharing my thoughts on where bitcoin stands today, and the most trusted platforms to trade bitcoin in my next post.
