How Does Bitcoin Work?
Bitcoin runs on blockchain technology-a public ledger kept by a distributed network of computers.
Think of the blockchain as a book, where each page (block) is filled with transactions. Each block has a link to the previous block, forming a continuous chain.
Once added, transaction data can't be changed, making it secure and tamper-proof.
Each computer holds a local copy of the ledger. If Alice sends 1 $BTC BTC to $BOB , this is recorded on the blockchain for all to see, and everyone's copy is updated.
