Bitcoin creation and transfer is based on an open source cryptographic protocol and is not managed by any central authority. Each bitcoin is subdivided down to eight decimal places, forming 100 million smaller units called satoshis.Bitcoins can be transferred through a computer or smartphone without an intermediate financial institution.
