Bitcoin is a  worldwide cryptocurrency and a peer-to-peer digital payment system. It is called the world's first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or administrator, and transactions take place between users directly and without an intermediary. Bitcoin mining is the process carried out with a massive amount of computing power, by which transactions are verified and added to the public distributed ledger called the blockchain, and also the means through which new Bitcoin are released. Concept for Bitcoin was set out in a white paper by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, whose true identity has yet to be verified, and released as open-source software in 2009.
