It was created by an anonymous │ │ │ individual/group under the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. The source code is available │ │ │ publicly as an open source project, anybody can look at it and be part of the │ │ │ developmental process. Bitcoin is changing the way we see money as we speak. The │ │ │ idea was to produce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, │ │ │ that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable │ │ │ way. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer internet currency making mobile payment │ │ │ easy, very low transaction fees, protects your identity, and it works anywhere │ │ │ all the time with no central authority and banks. Bitcoin is designed to have │ │ │ only 21 million BTC ever created, thus making it a deflationary currency. │ │ │ Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm with an average transaction │ │ │ confirmation time of 10 minutes. Miners today are mining Bitcoin using ASIC chip │ │ │ dedicated to only mining Bitcoin, and the hash rate has shot up to peta hashes. │ │ │ Being the first successful online cryptography currency, Bitcoin has inspired │ │ │ other alternative currencies such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, and so on. │ │ │ The cryptocurrency then took off with the innovation of the turing-complete │ │ │ smart contract by Ethereum which led to the development of other amazing │ │ │ projects such as EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties. │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Contract Address │ {} │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Market Cap Rank │ 1 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Public Interest Score │ 0.34 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Total Supply │ 21000000.00 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Max Supply │ 21000000.00 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Circulating Supply │ 18958987.00 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Price Change Percentage 24H │ 4.47 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Price Change Percentage 7D │ 0.82 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Price Change Percentage 30D │ 2.41 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Current Price Btc │ 1.00 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Current Price Eth │ 14.27 │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Current Price Usd │ 44269 │ └─────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ---
