Purpose of Bitcoin

Bitcoin was intended to provide an alternative payment system that would operate free of central control but otherwise be used just like traditional currencies.

Bitcoin is peer-to-peer software which means that there is no server no centralisation there are only clients.

How does it work

Each Bitcoin is basically a computer file which is stored in a digital wallet app on a smartphone or computer. People can send or receive Bitcoins from digital wallet,every transaction of Bitcoins are recorded in a public list  which called block chains.

A blockchain is a distributed ledger, a data base disseminated between multiple users.

Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm to encrypt the data stored in the blocks on the blockchain. Simply put, transaction data stored in a block is encrypted into a 256-bit hexadecimal number. That number contains all of the transaction data and information linked to the blocks before that block.
