Nakamoto’, who published his invention in 2008, and released as open-source software in 2009.

The bitcoin system is peer-to-peer, and users can transact directly with each other all over the world almost instantly, without needing an intermediary such as a bank, Western Union, Moneygram, Paypal or any other company. The bitcoin system works without a central repository or single administrator, so is the worlds first decentralized digital currency, and it is the largest of its kind in terms of total market value. There is no company or entity controlling bitcoin.
