Bitcoin, What it is and what it does?

[Sealis]

So hi, I'm relatively new here in this forum and even though I have some knowledge with regards to bitcoin, its only on the surface so I wanted to ask you guys some questions that can be understood by a beginner like me. So my questions would be in the scope of what is bitcoin? I know it is the largest form of cryptocurrency as of now but I still don't get it that much. Researching bitcoin through the net have given me answers but as a layman who initially knew nothing about it, I wanted to get more clarifications. So again questions would be:
What is bitcoin
What is it used for
How is it used
I may have additional questions for later but this would do for now.
No flame against me because I know i lack knowledge and thats why i am here asking you guys because i want to learn about it.

Thanks

bitcoin is a new currency or arguably bitcoin is a bitcoin electronic money unlike most currencies because bitcoin does not rely on trusting the major publishers of bitcoin using distributed databases and spreading to nodes from P2P networks to transaction journals and using cryptography to provide basic security functions such as to ensuring that bitcoin can only be spent by people who have it and never been allowed more than once.

The explanation is really simple and easy to understand, however, it can not express the important effects of bitcoin and its technological characteristics. The most important thing is transparency in transactions but still anonymous.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency. Now-a-days it is the most popular currency in the whole world. As it is a decentralized system so it works user to user peer to peer. People can transfer this Bitcoin one part to another of the world. It can be transferred by the blockchain technology. As it works peer to peer so no one can hack this Bitcoin wallet at all but if anyone gives their blockchain id and password to any unknown person then it will be hacked. So, be careful and don't give your id or password to any person to save.
