How does bitcoin work?

Did u just get that idea after seeing our comments? I think that was probably what happened, so I guess those 10 members should thank me!

yes i did! :P

Wow... that makes me feel so influential... lol

bitcoin is electronic currency, like the dollar or the euro but it is not backed by any goverment, doesn't have organisms like the Federal Reserve or the Central Bank which may act over it. Its value is bit more speculative that that of traditional money

If you want to do tax evasion there are simpler legal ways. Ask Apple

Its value gets determined like any other finantial product on how much the market considers it worths

I mean if you don't know what you aé doing use normal money
