So, Bitcoin isn’t controlled by any company or government.
But how does that even work? 🤔
The secret lies in something called the blockchain — a public ledger, shared across thousands of computers. 🖥️🌐
Every transaction is grouped into a “block,” verified by the network, and linked to the previous block, forming a secure chain.
• Decentralization ✔️
• Transparency ✔️
• Unbreakable trust without middlemen ✔️
Mining is where it gets spicy.
Miners solve complex puzzles to validate transactions, securing the network and earning Bitcoin as a reward. ⛏️💰
The result?
A system where anyone can participate, and no single party can cheat or shut it down.
Bitcoin doesn’t need trust — it’s built on math and code. 🧠💻
