A Bitcoin transaction is a digital record of a transfer of value between two Bitcoin wallets. It is verified by the Bitcoin network, which uses a distributed ledger called the blockchain to keep track of all Bitcoin transactions.
For example, let’s say Alice wants to send Bob 0.5 Bitcoin. Alice will create a Bitcoin transaction that includes Bob’s public address, her own public address, and the amount of Bitcoin she wants to send. This transaction is then broadcast to the Bitcoin network, where it is verified by miners. Miners use specialized software to solve complex mathematical problems in order to validate the transaction and add it to the blockchain. Once the transaction is verified, Bob will receive the 0.5 Bitcoin in his wallet.
