Intro

-----
|
|

|
|
Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is
|
|
|
|
|
completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted
|
|
|
|
|
parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly
|
|
|
|
|
with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.
