Bitcoin is a worldwide crypto currency and digital payment
system called the first decentralized digital currency, since the system works
without a central repository or single administrator. In centralized economy,
currency is issued by a central bank at a rate that is supposed to match the
growth of the amount of goods that are exchanged so that these goods can be
traded with stable prices. The monetary base is controlled by a central bank.
In a fully decentralized monetary system, there is no
central authority that regulates the monetary base. Instead, currency is
created by the nodes of a peer-to-peer network. The Bitcoin generation
algorithm defines, in advance, how currency will be created and what rte. Any
currency that is generated by a malicious user that does not follow the rules
will be rejected by the network and thus is worthless.
