What is Bitcoin?

Understanding Bitcoin

More and more Australians are becoming aware of something called “Bitcoin”, even though many of them aren’t quite sure what it is. Although a recent phenomenon, Bitcoin has already managed to capture the imaginations of many people from different backgrounds and from all walks of life. Bitcoin is somewhat a form of currency. It’s like currency in the sense that you can use it to buy goods or services at establishments which honor Bitcoin.

However with each passing month, it seems that more websites are announcing that they are willing to receive it as payment.
