Who is Mr. Bitcoin Norway?

My name is Bjorn Kienholz Bjercke, and I have over 25 years of experience with IT solutions, of which 15 years are in the Banking and Finance sector. I read the Bitcoin whitepaper for the first time in early 2012 but my deep interest did not start before the summer of 2013. Ever since then, I have had the feeling that I have been contributing to the driving force for the world spinning toward the future. My profile page on Linkedin

Definition of Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a digital currency that cleverly uses a combination of cryptography and decentralization for security and operates without a central authority such as a government or financial institution. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a publicly distributed ledger called the blockchain.

Bitcoin has several characteristics that make it unique as a digital asset:

Non-debt-based: Bitcoin is not a debt instrument like a traditional currency or a financial asset like a bond. It is an independent asset that has value in itself.
Irreversible: Once a bitcoin transaction is made, it cannot be reversed. This is because the blockchain is an immutable record of all transactions, and once a transaction is included in the blockchain, it cannot be changed.
Digital: Bitcoin exists purely digitally and can be stored and transferred electronically.
Intrinsic value: The value of bitcoin is not derived from any external asset or authority, but rather from the security and inclusiveness of the payment system and decentralized governance structure on which it runs.
Transparent ledger: The blockchain is a transparent and open record of all bitcoin transactions, allowing for transparency and accountability in the system.

Overall, bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a transparent, open network and has several unique characteristics that make it a valuable asset.

Definition of Blockchain

A blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that is used to record transactions across a network of computers. Each block in the chain contains a record of multiple transactions, and once a block is added to the chain, the data it contains cannot be altered. This makes it an immutable record of all transactions on the network.

The key feature of blockchain technology is that it allows for secure and transparent record-keeping without the need for a central authority. Because the transactions are recorded and verified by multiple parties, it is difficult for anyone to cheat the system or manipulate the data. This makes it an attractive technology for a wide range of applications, including financial transactions, supply chain management, and voting systems.
