> Open-source digital money for peer-to-peer payments

Bitcoin is an open-source payment network that lets people send digital money directly to one another. Transactions are recorded on a shared blockchain, with independent participants maintaining the network instead of a central bank or payment operator. A Bitcoin wallet provides the tools to receive funds, manage keys, and authorize payments.

Bitcoin.org helps newcomers understand how the system works and choose a wallet that fits their needs. It also provides guidance for businesses accepting payments and developers building integrations, alongside the original white paper and instructions for running a full node to verify transactions yourself.
