Bitcoin is a virtual currency system that works without banks or other middle-men. You can pay for goods with Bitcoin the same as you would cash, however Bitcoin cannot be cheated by inflation like government-issued currencies. Sending or receiving Bitcoin is easy - simply scan a bitcoin QR code with your mobile phone. More companies and websites are also beginning to accept Bitcoin because of it's low fees, convenience and no chargebacks.

Who uses Bitcoin?

More companies are starting to accept Bitcoin every day - including some major companies like Dell Computer, Expedia Travel, Overstock.com, TigerDirect.com and Dish Network. Websites that accept payment in Bitcoin pay zero fees, compared to the 2-3% fee charged by credit card companies. In the highly competitive online marketplace where margins are slim - this 2-3% is a big deal. As a result, Bitcoin is becoming rapidly adopted by more and more companies worldwide.
