Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that allows people to transfer funds between each other without a central authority. It operates on a peer-to-peer network where transactions are verified by miners who are rewarded with bitcoins. While bitcoin offers anonymity and accessibility, it also faces security risks like theft and price volatility due to its limited supply and speculative nature. Whether bitcoin can replace traditional currencies as a stable store of value remains uncertain.
