The Origin and Value of Bitcoin

Bitcoin was created in response to the 2008 financial crisis by an individual or group named Satoshi Nakamoto. It was released on October 31, 2008, on Reformation day, following a period of banking competition known as the wildcat banking era. Bitcoin operates independently and is decentralized, meaning it is not tied to any central authority like the Federal Reserve. New Bitcoin is mined through a process that involves expending energy and resources to guess complex numbers and unlock blocks of Bitcoin, a process similar to mining gold.
