Bitcoin, as you already know, is based on an open source protocol. Consequently, the source code of the software is public and available to anyone who wishes to check the details of its operation.The above principle allows anyone to freely and free of charge copy and develop their own software based on the code of the original digital currency.
The use of the software is free and available in all countries of the world, as long as there is an internet connection. The basic function of the software lies in executing bitcoin transactions and relaying information between nodes and confirming their validity for the rest of the network.
But you know these things. What you may not know is that Bitcoin reached (today, Thursday) the $5,000 barrier for the first time in its history.
It should be mentioned that this particular digital currency, despite the difficulties, managed to increase its value fivefold since the beginning of the year.
