BITCOIN

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer currency. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new money or tracks transactions. These tasks are managed collectively by the network.
Unlike the rupee, which is issued by the Reserve Bank of India and has its presence in the form of notes and coins, the Bitcoin is a virtual currency that exists only online. It is not issued by any central bank or authorities. Created in 2009 by a mysterious genius who remains elusive, the Bitcoin is a completely digital currency that can be used for making peer-to-peer payments and is controlled only by its users.
