Do you know? : What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a kind of virtual token which is being used by some people as a kind of currency. Currently there are about 11 million Bitcoins in existence. The Bitcoins are represented by a unique online registration number. The process is called 'mining' in which a computer solves a mathematical problem with a 64 digit solution. With each solution the computer's owner is rewarded with 25 Bitcoins. About 3600 Bitcoins are created every day through the programming done by computers. Bitcoins can be received only by the persons who have Bitcoin address. The Bitcoin address is generated by a string of 27-34 letters and numbers which acts as a kind of virtual post box to send and receive the Bitcoins. Government needs resources for funding various kinds of developmental schemes and routine expenditures. Resources are raised through taxes and borrowing. The government can raise funds by borrowing from the Reserve Bank of India, financial institutions or from the public by floating bonds. Fiscal deficit is the total expenditure minus the revenue receipt, loan recoveries and receipts from disinvestment etc. It is a measure of the government borrowing in a year.
