Bitcoin (BTC) is a mathematical, peer-to-peer, open-source digital cryptocurrency that is not backed or owned by any government, corporation, or legal entity.

Bitcoin is a new solution to a real and and growing problem in the world: In what way do you keep your savings (in government fiat currency) from being destroyed by inflation? A way that is digital, online, and decentralized. A way that is free of “annual storage fees” and “currency conversion fees” because you sent your money across an imaginary line called a “border.” A way that is voluntary and free-market. Satoshi Nakimoto, our prophet, came and showed us such a way: The way of Bitcoin.
