Bitcoin is a revolutionary payment network and a new type of money. Bitcoin operates with peer-to-peer technology. There is no central authority or bank involved in managing transactions and issuing bitcoins. Bitcoin is open-source. Its design is publicly available. Nobody owns or controls Bitcoin. Everyone can participate. Bitcoin's unique properties allow for new uses that are not possible with any other payment system. Bitcoin transactions are protected by energy and mathematics. Cryptographic signatures stop other people spending your money. Proof of work (PoW), which is energy that is spent on proof of work, prevents others from undoing, changing or losing your transactions. Bitcoin can help you keep your money safe and protect you from fraud.
