There is no need for old and past mediators like banks and governments to verify the transactions in bitcoin. This digital currency allows the user to spend anonymously. In straightforward words, the identity of users is not visible to the public. Miners create Bitcoins. Mining is done to extract bitcoins.

    SOME ESSENTIAL TERMS 

    Bitcoins are cryptocurrencies that are stored with the help of digital wallets. These digital wallets can be installed on computers and other devices. To learn the working of bitcoin, it is important to understand the basic terms to not face any obstacles while initiating the trading of bitcoins.

    Blockchain technology- This is the first important term that users must learn as bitcoin works based on bitcoin technology. A shared public ledger is created by blockchain technology. It records all the transactions and the data. All the information is stored in the blocks of blockchain technology. In blockchain technology, each chain constitutes multiple blocks. These blocks involve the three important elements.

    1. Data- the data present in the blocks.
    2. Nonce- It is a 32-bit whole number. Interestingly, the nonce is created randomly after the generation of blocks.
    3. Hash- hash is a 256-bit number that starts with large numbers.

    Why blockchain technology is important-

    It is vital because every business needs the full information to run it with great success. So the blockchain is very popular for giving complete and transparent information about transactions and other data. One more crucial thing about blockchain technology is that the blockchain network can track everything like payments, production, accounts, orders, and so on. Thus you can easily see all the details on the blockchain.

    Public and private keys- Well, to initiate the trading, you need to sign the transactions digitally, and the bitcoin wallet used to store the bitcoins requires the private and the public keys. When you want to open the wallet or want to allow the transactions, you need these keys. It is essential to protect the private keys so that your bitcoin remains safe and secure.

    Bitcoin mining- Mining is the process of creating new bitcoins by solving mathematical and numerical puzzles. This process is very difficult to handle, so it is important to first learn everything about mining. Apart from this, mining requires computers and a large amount of electricity.

    HOW TO STORE BITCOINS

    Well, it is important to store the bitcoins and to store the bitcoin wallet is needed. Thus there are two types of wallets.

    • The first one is the hot wallet. This wallet is an online wallet. Users have to install this wallet on the computers or the device they want to use.

    • The second one is the cold wallet. This is the offline wallet and is also called the hardware wallet. For this wallet, there is no need for an internet connection. In this, you can easily protect your private keys in a piece of paper, and then you can store the paper privately.
