Bitcoin is an experimental, decentralized digital currency that enables
instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer
technology to operate with no central authority;that is, managing transactions and issueing money are carried out collectively through the network.

Any transaction issued with Bitcoin cannot be reversed; it can only be
refunded by the person receiving the funds. That means you should do businesswith people and organizations you know and trust, or who have an established
reputation. Bitcoin can detect typos and usually won't let you send money to
an invalid address by mistake.

All Bitcoin transactions are stored publicly and permanently on the network,
which means anyone can see the balance and trasactions of any Bitcoin address. However, the identity of the user behind an address remains unknown until
information is revealed during a purchase or in other circumstances.

The price of a bitcoin can unpredictably increase or decrease over a short
period of time due to its young economy, novel nature, and sometimes illiquidmarkets. Consequently, keeping your savings with Bitcoin is not recommended
at this point. Bitcoin should be seen like a high risk asset, and you should
never store money that you cannot afford to lose with Bitcoin. If you receivepayments with Bitcoin, many service providers can convert them to your local
currency.
