Meaning taken from Wikipedia:

Bitcoin
* is a cryptocurrency and a digital payment system invented by an unknown programmer, or a group of programmers, under the name Satoshi Nakamoto.
* It was released as open-source software in 2009.
* The system is peer-to-peer, and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Since the system works without a central repository or single administrator, bitcoin is called the first decentralized digital currency.

* Besides being created as a reward for mining, bitcoin can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services in legal or black markets.

* As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.
According to research produced by Cambridge University in 2017, there are 2.9 to 5.8 million unique users using a cryptocurrency wallet, most of them using bitcoin.

According to : investopedia

Bitcoin is a digital currency created in 2009. It follows the ideas set out in a white paper by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, whose true identity has yet to be verified. Bitcoin offers the promise of lower transaction fees than traditional online payment mechanisms and is operated by a decentralized authority, unlike government-issued currencies.

In my personal opinions bitcoins is instrument of investment on internet, i don't use bitcoins for payment daily in my real life, bitcoins now just to be used for trading altcoins and bitcoins, bitcoins is not good enough for to be currency especially for small amount payment due to the fees transaction is expensive, so bitcoins is more suitable be considered as digital asset than new currency.
You can make investment only with valuables and bitcoin is therefore an expensive asset or currency that has no solid form. If you are not willing to buy daily stuff with bitcoins because of high fees transactions, then it is your problem and that doesn't count bitcoins out of the currency circle.

Yes I also agree with these meanings. Bitcoin is created in 2009, and it is a digital crypto currency. Bitcoin has no physical existence. You can purchase and sell bitcoin online. Bitcoin generally not owned by any person or government, because it is used for transaction and buying and selling for the purpose of easiness and comfort for the people throughout the world. So it is not a legal currency of a specific country.

Surely peoples who are familiar with and close to bitcoin will not be unfamiliar with this question, all of them know with a lot of information in the internet world. Bitcoin is a virtual currency that was successfully developed by someone named Satoshi nakamoto. This currency is like a regular currency that has value, which is only available in the digital world. And one thing bitcoin is my best friend too.
Bitcoin is just a concept of virtual currency that is available on internet only. There is no physical form of bitcoins but it is the most expensive asset in the present era. Nobody knows much about his creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, other than his name for sure. May be Mike Hearn can help us in this quest.

I do not think that Mike hearn is the inventor of bitcoin. He might be supportive person to him or learned after bitcoin has been created. OP created this thread to know meaning of bitcoin right!
Instead of searching with the people in the forum, you could just google it know about it.
