Bitcoin (BTC) es conocida como la primera criptomoneda digital de fuente abierta y peer-to-peer desarrollada y lanzada por un grupo de programadores independientes desconocidos llamado Satoshi Nakamoto en el 2008. Bitcoin no tiene ningún servidor centralizado utilizado para su emisión, transacciones y almacenamiento, ya que utiliza una tecnología de base de datos pública de red distribuida llamada blockchain, que requiere una firma electrónica y está respaldada por un protocolo de prueba de trabajo para proporcionar la seguridad y legitimidad de las transacciones monetarias. La emisión de Bitcoin es realizada por usuarios con capacidades mineras y está limitada a 21 millones de monedas. Actualmente, la capitalización bursátil de Bitcoin supera los $138 mil millones y esta es la clase de moneda digital más popular. La compra y venta de criptomonedas está disponible a través de plataformas especiales de bolsas de Bitcoin o cajeros automáticos.
