Hi and welcome to the crypto world!

What does “decentralized” mean?
It means there’s no single company or bank in charge. Instead, Bitcoin works on a global network of computers — all working together.

How do Bitcoin transactions happen?
You send Bitcoin from one wallet to another. The network checks to make sure you actually own the Bitcoin you’re sending.

How are they verified?
These checks are done by people called miners (or validators) using computers. They make sure the transaction is real and you’re not trying to cheat the system.

How is it recorded?
Once verified, your transaction is added to a public record called the blockchain — kind of like a digital notebook that everyone can see but no one can change.

I hope this helps. It may sound like a lot at first, but you’re in the right place to learn.
