'''Bitcoin''' is a [[digital currency]] created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. The name also refers to the [[open source]] software he designed that uses it, and the peer-to-peer network that it forms. Unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on trusting any central issuer. Bitcoin uses a [[distributed database]] spread across nodes of a [[peer-to-peer]] network to journal transactions, and uses [[cryptography]] in order to provide basic security functions, such as ensuring that bitcoins can only be spent by the person who owns them, and never more than once. | '''Bitcoin''' is a [[digital currency]] created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto.
