How is Bitcoin different from regular money?

Limited emission

The total number of Bitcoins that can be mined is 21M. More than 16M Bitcoin are in circulation right now. The more popular it gets, the more expensive.

Worldwide currency

No government has control over Bitcoin. It’s based on mathematics only

Anonymity

You can use your Bitcoins anytime and in any amount. This is a true finding as opposed to transferring money from your bank account, when you need to explain the destination of payment as well as the origin of the funds.

Speed

Your bank will take time to transfer money, especially when it comes to large values. With Bitcoin, the send-and-receive routine will take seconds.

How does Bitcoin transaction occur?
Each transaction has 3 dimensions: Input – the origin of Bitcoin used in the transaction. It tells us where the current owner got it. Amount – the number of “coins” used. Output – the address of the recipient of the money.
Where did Bitcoin come from?
Although the world is familiar with the name of the creator of Bitcoin, “Satoshi Nakamoto” is most likely an alias for a programmer or even a group of such. Basically, Bitcoin comes from 31,000 lines of code created by “Satoshi” and is controlled only by software.
How does Bitcoin work?
Transactions occur between Bitcoin wallets and are transparent. In the blockchain, anyone can check the origin and life cycle for every “coin”. However, there is no “coin”. Bitcoin has no physical form and it has no virtual form, only history of transactions.
What is a Bitcoin wallet?
A Bitcoin wallet is a program that allows you to manage Bitcoin: receive and send them, check balance and Bitcoin rate. Although there is no “coin” in such wallets, it contains digital keys, used to access public Bitcoin addresses and “sign” transactions. Popular wallets: TREZOR, Ledger, Blockchain.info, Coinbase.
