# Bitcoin

Preferences · [Official website](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin)

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency created in 2009, transferred directly between users over a peer-to-peer network and recorded on a public blockchain. Bitcoin itself places no code or cookies on a website, but sites that accept it usually rely on a payment processor or wallet widget whose scripts may set cookies.
