Bitcoin is a kind of digital currency that allows people to buy goods and services and exchange money without involving banks, credit card issuers, or other third parties. Bitcoin was introduced in 2008 as a cryptocurrency as well as an electronic payment system by an unknown group of programmers. It is reportedly the first decentralized digital currency where peer-to-peer transactions are conducted without any intermediaries.
Apart from this, the central government is also planning to introduce the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill 2021 during the ongoing winter session of Parliament.
