Bitcoin explained
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer version of electronic cash that allows payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. – Satoshi Nakamoto
Upcoming Events
The Bitcoin Foundation participates in workshops and conferences that assists software engineers and other early adopters to get their hands onto the Blockchain technology underpinning Bitcoin.
