Bitcoin is now worth about $1.3tn, a substantial chunk of the total $2.6tn cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin was created in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous author of a white paper that established the concept of a digital currency.
A key aspect of bitcoin's appeal is its anti-authoritarian stance the ability to carry out financial transactions without a financial institution overseeing the process and charging fees.
