Bitcoin & Money

Bitcoin

A peer-to-peer electronic cash system whose ledger is maintained through a distributed network and whose issuance rules are specified in its protocol.

Bitcoin is a monetary technology and a subject of institutional debate. Its fixed issuance schedule is often discussed alongside sound-money ideas, while its volatility, custody risks, regulation, adoption, and network security remain separate questions that require careful analysis.
