There are currently about 15 million Bitcoins in existence.
To receive a Bitcoin, a user must have a Bitcoin address
- a string of 27-34 letters and numbers -
which acts as a kind of virtual post-box to and from which the Bitcoins are sent.
Since there is no register of these addresses, people can use them to protect
their anonymity when making a transaction.
