BTC is a peer-to-peer digital electronic cash created for multi-purpose use. It is the first digital cryptocurrency working without centralized governance. Bitcoin is a pioneer cryptocurrency that has the largest market capitalization.
Bitcoin whitepaper was published in late 2008, and the first block was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. From that moment the story of the crypto industry as a whole begins: blockchain, transactions, miners, community growth, market swings, etc. It all started with Satoshi Nakamoto. Do you know who is he/she? We don’t. But in case you do, contact us at [email protected] :)
Blockchain is a public ledger or distributed network on which all transactions go. All the transactions, history and other information are kept on the blockchain. All accounts’ data stored in blocks and in a fully encrypted manner (pseudonymity) which makes blockchain trustless and decentralized. Records in Bitcoin blockchain cannot be tampered with or changed retrospectively. Learn more about Bitcoin blockchain.
The blockchain works as a public ledger with a chain of interconnected blocks, each one of those contains a hash of the previous block. This chain leads to the first genesis block which was mined by Satoshi himself.
Well, as it is a public ledger and all data and accounts are distributed across the network, there must be someone looking after. This is when Bitcoin miners come on the stage. While mining, they utilize a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm that helps maintain the Bitcoin blockchain transparent, unified, trustless and decentralized.
Transaction fees or network represent an additional amount you pay to miners that include your transaction to a public blockchain.
The network fee is required to be paid for every Bitcoin transaction without exceptions in order to get mined and included to the blockchain. The minimum network fee is one Satoshi 0.000001 BTC.
Every transaction in Bitcoin network has its own size. Network fees depend on the total size of your transaction as every block in Bitcoin blockchain is limited to 1 MB. The more KBs it weights, the more you will have to pay for it to be added into a new block. Amount of fees doesn’t depend on a service you use, they are calculated according to transaction size in bytes and network load.
