What is Bitcoin All About?
It is a virtual currency / digital currency that is used to buy products and services. However, since it is a peer-to-peer form of transaction, both the transactional parties need to be using bitcoins.
Bitcoin consists of two parts – 1) a code snippet type of token representing ownership of a digital concept, and 2) a protocol – distributed network maintaining a ledger of balances of the bitcoin token.
Each Bitcoin is basically a computer file that is stored in a digital wallet app. For example like the PayTM. People can use these digital wallets to send / receive bitcoins, and every bitcoin transaction made is stored in a public list called the blockchain. There is no central authority sitting between the two parties – like a bank or a payment gateway.
The idea of keeping traces of the transactional history is to prevent people from using coins that they do not own or from making copies.
