| What is Bitcoin? |
If you see all over the world, why does anyone give you money? People give you money only when you add some value or do some work to return for it. You get a salary in the office only when you do some work.
From time to time money is represented by different things like in earlier times people used to get work done by giving grains and wheat. Then gradually people paid more attention to those things which are not spoiled for a long time, their value is high such as gold but it was not easy to carry gold too, then paper money was born then paper money started converting into digital money. But the biggest challenge in digital money was to keep track of transactions.
If money is deducted from your account, it should reach the other's account and it should not happen that it reaches the other's account without deducting money from your account. So to keep track of all these things, a central authority of the bank system (payment system) was created. But challenges also happen in banking systems.
In October 2008 a document was published and the one who published this document named satoshi Nakamoto but who is satoshi Nakamoto is not known to date. So this document suggested how our current banking system can be replaced with cryptocurrency. it is the world biggest cryptocurrency.
So what did that mean? This means that currently our bank is maintaining a centralized record of all the transactions and making sure that all the transactions are successful, an alternative can also be seen through bitcoin currency.

Bitcoin is mined to earn it. Mining of bitcoin is done by computers. In 2009, 200-300 coins could be generated in 2-3 days but in today's time, it would take more than 150 years to generate 1 coin. How many bitcoins will the coin miner get as a reward, it depends on how many people are doing bitcoin mining with computers. To prevent costs, it was already decided that no more than 21 million coins could be generated.
