It is one giant and accessible database that logs all the transactions and what address owns each bitcoin or each piece of one, as each one is divisible. Like pounds and dollars, Bitcoins are not connected to any tangible assets. Unlike pounds and dollars though, no- one can print more to manipulate the market. There are 21 million of them and that's it. The value of a Bitcoin is pretty much governed by the rules of supply and demand. So the more people buying and selling them, the more demand there is. The more demand there is, the more the value goes up. No one can magic up more bitcoin, so everyone has equal rights to bitcoin. Many people are attracted to the currency because of its decentralised nature. These cryptocurrencies are borderless.

If you purchased Bitcoin in 2011 or in 2003 after these so called crashes you would still be quids in. One question to ask yourself is.. will some form of cryptocurrency be the future of money. Probably. Will it be Bitcoin? Who knows but it is in the lead by a long shot. All other cryptocurrencies follow the price of Bitcoin so if the price of Bitcoin rises, the others will. If people suddenly realise crypto is the future, expect the price of Bitcoin to be the first to shoot up. Some say to over 100K for 1 Bitcoin by Xmas.
