No one owns Bitcoin. Neither does any government have jurisdiction over it, so most people prefer it in the digital world because of its decentralized and anonymous nature. Unlike other regular currencies in the world, bitcoin is generated via a process called mining.
With Bitcoin, you can easily send a transaction worth billions in minutes a few years from now. Bitcoin may be a virtual currency for making transactions.
