Bitcoin was launched in 2009, as the first cryptocurrency to use a decentralised blockchain-based network, which allows secure peer-to-peer transactions. Its value is based on a “mining” process, and the currency is not subject to any central bank policies or regulations.
At the moment, Bitcoin accounts for approximately 65.6 percent of the world’s cryptocurrency market.
