I personally know quite a bit about Bitcoin. However, this thread is for the community here. The idea is every post should contain NEW info which hasn't previously been posted in this thread.

Is this a perfect explanation? Of course not. This is where you come in.
Please post the most detailed aspects about Bitcoin you know, without repeating any info previously posted in this thread.
The idea is as we scroll down, the discussion should get continually more complicated as we dig further into the technology, development, history, etc.
Make sense?
