At its core, Bitcoin incorporates the following concepts: • A public ledger (called Bitcoin’s block chain). Consider this as essentially a giant book that is publicly available and contains the bookkeeping records of all transactions ever made in the Bitcoin system, with new pages constantly being added. • A cryptographic algorithm called asymmetric encryption used for authorization of the transactions. • A distributed network of computer nodes (also commonly known as miners) that verify and validate Bitcoin transactions and update the public ledger.
