Bitcoin is the most important cryptocurrency (virtual currency) today. It is increasingly accepted around the world and can be used to purchase products and services.

Every bitcoin is like a file that is stored in a “digital wallet”, whether that be on your cell phone, computer or tablet. Individuals and companies can transfer bitcoins or part of them between different digital wallets.

Each of these transactions is recorded on a public list called the blockchain. In this way, the history of bitcoin can be known, in order to avoid theft, counterfeit copies, or transaction rollbacks.

There are three main ways to get bitcoins. They can be purchased for real money (in dollars, for example); Goods and services can be sold and paid for in bitcoins; And they can be “mined” (created, as they say in the parlance of the cryptocurrency market) on a computer.

To mine or create new bitcoins, high-powered computers are required which, through the precision of very complex arithmetic calculations, get bitcoins as a reward.
