Bitcoin: A COMPLETE HOW KNOW

A COMPLETE HOW KNOW

Bitcoin is the most popular decentralized digital currency or cryptocurrency worldwide. It’s used by all types of people on every continent. Think of bitcoin as digital cash you can send or receive through the internet. Unlike traditional payments, Bitcoins are sent from one person to another (peer-to-peer) without going through banks or other middlemen (Single administrator).It gives you independent rights to use your bitcoin all around over the internet. You also called this E-cash.

These transactions are verified and recorded by a network and it called Block-chain. It was design or develops by an unknown person or group of people under the name Satoshi Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other
Currencies, products, and services. As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors
Accepted bitcoin as payment. Research produced by the University of Cambridge estimates that in
2017, there are 2.9 to 5.8 million unique users using a cryptocurrency wallet, most of them using
Bitcoin.

Block-chain
A block-chain, originally block chain, is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography.

How Bitcoin Works?

A user purchases something from a website and wants to pay through his Bitcoins. He then makes a payment that is then transferred to the website owner Bitcoin account. It’s just like how you buy things online.

All Bitcoin transactions are permanently recorded on to an electronic ledger called a “BlockChain” – this ledger is then distributed to all others Bitcoin “Miners” and “nodes” around the world to keep as a copy and manage, and is viewable publically.
Miners and nodes are the people who verify Bitcoin transactions and secure them. As a reward for their effort, they are rewarded with new Bitcoins with each 10-minute block.

A number of Bitcoins in the world are hard-limited to 21 million Bitcoins. Meaning no government, Bank or individual can print more Bitcoins.

How do Bitcoin Transactions work?

Bitcoin transactions are messages that are digitally marked using cryptography. Then these are sent to the entire Bitcoin network for verifications. As you know that all the transactions on Bitcoin are public and can be found on the Ledgers called the Blockchain. Every Bitcoin transaction can lead back to the point where the Bitcoin was produced.

When we say someone has Bitcoins what we refer to is that person has access to a key-pair comprised of:

• a public key to which some amount Bitcoin was previously sent
• the corresponding unique private key which authorizes the BTC previously sent to the above pub-key to be sent elsewhere

Public keys, also called bitcoin addresses, are random sequences of numbers and letters that function similarly to an email address or a social-media site username – in short, they are a unique name. They are public so you are safe sharing it with others. In fact, you must give your bitcoin address to someone if they want to send you BTC.

The private key is also a random sequence of letters and numbers. But Unlike public keys, private keys are to be kept secret. Never Share your Private key with anyone, ever. Also, remember to have a hard copy of your private key and store it somewhere safe.

Interesting Fact: There is not even a Single Physical Bitcoin in the world – it’s all digital.
