  Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, which means it is not controlled by any central authority or government. Instead, it is owned by the people who use it. When you own bitcoin, you have a digital wallet that contains your bitcoin balance. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, which is maintained by a network of computers called miners. These miners verify and validate transactions, ensuring the integrity of the network. So, in short, bitcoin is owned by its users and operates on a decentralized network.
