What is Bitcoin?

 

You have probably heard the term Bitcoin a lot over the last couple of years. But if you are like us, you still probably have no idea what  Bitcoin exactly is?

This is what we found on wikipedia:

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system. It is the first decentralized digital currency – the system works without a central repository or single administrator.

The controversial digital currency, which became open to the public in 2009, started as a fringe movement concurrent with Occupy Wall Street. Now finance giants like Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein say it could be the next big thing. Others worry that bitcoin is a bubble ready to burst.
