What is Bitcoin? What is CryptoCurrency? Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks;  managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network.  Bitcoin is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system. Bitcoin is a crypto-coin or Crypto-Currency and a digital payment system: invented by an unknown programmer or a group of programmers under the name Satoshi Nakamoto.
