Ultimate Bitcoin Guide: How to Setup a Wallet, Buy, and Use Bitcoin

How Does Bitcoin Work?

Unlike normal currencies, Bitcoin doesn’t have a central bank or the backing of a government. Instead, it is regulated by complex algorithms, with new coins being ‘mined’ when computers solve complex equations. All of this number crunching is tracked by the “blockchain”, a public ledger of all transactions which is distributed, meaning there is no central point in the network that can be shut down. It is perhaps analogous to file-sharing protocol BitTorrent.

BitTorrent is not illegal at all as far as so do not share any illegal stuff. Bitcoin software is open source, so i do not get how you come across with the NSA  Huh

The NSA put you on a suspect terrorist if you pay cash at an internet cafe... If you go hiking once a week, drive a car older than 30 years... I could go on about listening to phone calls... Bah!
