#Bitcoin basics can be understood in five main points:
1. What It Is
Bitcoin is a digital currency (cryptocurrency) that exists only online — no coins or bills. It’s decentralized, meaning no bank, government, or company controls it.
2. How It Works
Transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain.
The blockchain is maintained by a network of computers (called nodes) all over the world.
These computers verify transactions to make sure no one cheats (like spending the same bitcoin twice).
3. Who Creates It
New bitcoins are made through a process called mining, where powerful computers solve math problems. As a reward for verifying transactions, miners earn new bitcoins.
4. Why It’s Valuable
Limited supply: Only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist.
Trustless system: You don’t need to trust a bank or government — you trust the math and code.
Global use: You can send it anywhere, anytime, with low fees compared to banks.
5. How to Use It
Buy from an exchange (like Binance, Coinbase, etc.)
Store in a digital wallet (online, offline, or on a hardware device).
Spend at merchants or send to anyone with a bitcoin address.
If you want, I can also give you a simple diagram showing how Bitcoin works step-by-step so it’s easier to understand visually.
