Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system and digital currency introduced as open source software in 2009 by pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. It is a cryptocurrency, so-called because it uses cryptography to control the creation and transfer of money.[6] Users send payments by broadcasting digitally signedmessages to the network. Participants known as miners verify, timestamp, and record transactions into a shared public database called the block chain, for which they are rewarded with transaction fees and newly minted bitcoins.[7]
Bitcoin has been a subject of scrutiny due to ties with illicit activity. In 2013 the FBI shut down the Silk Road online black market and seized US$28.5 million worth of bitcoins.[8] However, the United States is currently considered to be Bitcoin friendly compared to other governments.[citation needed] In China, new rules mean bitcoins cannot be exchanged for local currency,[9] and the European Banking Authority has warned that Bitcoin lacks consumer protections.[10] Theft of bitcoins can occur, and chargebacks are impossible.[11]
Commercial use of Bitcoin, illicit or otherwise, is currently small compared to its use by speculators, which has fueled price volatility.[12] Bitcoin as a form of payment for products and services has seen growth, however, and merchants have an incentive to accept the currency because transaction fees are lower than the 2-3% typically imposed by credit card processors.[13] Notable vendors accepting bitcoin include OkCupid, Reddit, and Virgin Galactic.[14]
