Certainly! Bitcoin (BTC) is the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Here are some key points: Decentralization: Bitcoin operates without central oversight. Nodes in the peer-to-peer network verify transactions through cryptography. Transactions are recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain. Mining and Security: Consensus is achieved through mining, a computationally intensive process. Mining guarantees the security of the Bitcoin blockchain. However, mining consumes significant electricity and has environmental effects
