Continuing the series for

Day 2

As I'm beginner in writing blogs. Please be kind. Thanks!

I would like to quote the main subject areas and then quote the sub-headings of my Learnings. So, let's start!


Topic 1: What is Bitcoin? How does it work?

Bitcoin is a digital form of cash. But unlike the fiat currencies you’re used to, there is no central bank controlling it. Instead, the financial system in Bitcoin is run by thousands of computers distributed around the world. Anyone can participate in the ecosystem by downloading open-source software.
