Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency or digital currency and a payment system. These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain which uses bitcoin as its unit of account.
The Bitcoin network is a decentralized peer-to-peer network that, ideally, is both distributed and diverse. Bitcoin Miners are rewarded bitcoins for processing transactions into blocks. Mined blocks are typically appended to the blockchain, and become part of the public ledger.
Besides being obtained by mining, bitcoins can be exchanged for other currencies products, and services . However, these coins can be divided into smaller parts the smallest divisible amount is one hundred millionth of a bitcoin and is called a ‘Satoshi’, after the founder of bitcoin. Bitcoin uses public-private key pairs to secure transactions. A Bitcoin address is a public key generated from a private key held in a user’s wallet.
A Bitcoin transaction destined for an address generated by a wallet is signed with that address’s public key, and can only be unlocked (or spent) with the matching private key. Hence, Bitcoin transactions are secured against theft.
