2. What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that exists through a
cloud-network known as the blockchain.
The blockchain is a transparent ledger of all the transactions that
ever occur on the bitcoin network.
Bitcoin is open-source, meaning anyone can view the source code.
There is a set amount of Bitcoin that will ever be in circulation: 21
million coins.

3. What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoins are created through a process known as mining,
essentially trading computing power for currency value.
Bitcoin is secured through public key cryptography, using
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)
Current block reward is 25 coins per 10 minutes, it will
half approximately every four years.
We will reach 21 million coins by approximately 2140.
Bitcoin is increasingly divisible in measurement.

7. The Future of Bitcoin
● Integration into social media
● Micropayments
● Decentralized contracts
● Digital Autonomous Corporations (DAC)
● Decentralized Banks and Exchanges
● Decentralized Applications (Ethereum)
● Devices that run themselves, self-driving taxi, software writing machine,
3d-printing devices, etc...

8. The Future of Bitcoin
Paper cash will most likely become a rarity as fast, efficient,
decentralized electronic-cash payments will become the popular
standard, eliminating a clunky and outdated method of transferring
value (physical cash). Wire transfers, checks, ACH/Debit transfers will
also be eliminated in this same fashion.
With it's self-regulating algorithm, it sets a clear international standard
of value. This value will become stable overtime as the quality of
services increase and Bitcoin scarcity increases. This alone is the
main reason why Bitcoin and the methods for digital currency will
become a staple in the near future and inevitably change the face of
business as we know it.
