Bitcoins are the first peer-to-peer currency; money created by people, instead of governments and banks. Bitcoins are rare, and it is easy (and free) to send and receive bitcoins.Bitcoins are an online-only digital currency, and have existed since January 3, 2009, when the first bitcoin was generated. In the year 2140, the final bitcoin will be generated. Once the final Bitcoin is generated, there will be a total of 21 million Bitcoins.Bitcoin is exciting and unique because it is decentralized; there is no central administrator or issuer. This makes the Bitcoin currency impossible for governments or powerful entities to control or manipulate the supply, and there is no single point of failure.
