Introduction to Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) is a cryptocurrency that operates on a peer-to-peer network and uses a PoW consensus algorithm. Bitcoin is not led by any centralized organizations, but maintains a common, trusted ledger through blockchain technology and encryption algorithms. Every bitcoin transfer will be recorded by all the miners of the network, and the validity of each transaction is verified by each block.
On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published a White Paper entitled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. The first Bitcoin block was unleashed on January 3, 2009. Learn More
BTC Wallet
A BTC wallet can help manage your BTC assets, including balance inquiry, transfer, etc. The most important thing in the wallet is the private key. Because you can control all the assets in the BTC wallet address with your private key.
In order to protect the privacy of users, the BTC wallet provides two types of addresses: main address and child address. At the same time, there are two types of toggle addresses: SegWit and General.
