The Bitcoin User Guide

What is Bitcoin? that seems like a simple question until you start looking for an answer on the web.

For example, if you check Wikipedia, you’ll get the following confusing answer.

“Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that can be transferred on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network.
Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.”

One of the main reasons why it is not easy to define bitcoin is that Bitcoin lives at the intersection of multiple technologies, such as

• Cryptography,

• Economics,

• Computer Science,

• Finance,

• Hardware Engineering,

• Networking,

• Politics

This course aims to help you become someone who understands blockchain and uses bitcoin with confidence.

After this course, you’ll be able to master the following tasks:

• How to buy bitcoin

At first, we will get a short introduction to blockchain technology, then learn the difference between a centralized and decentralized network.

We will then go to the crypto exchange to buy some bitcoin used in the course.
After acquiring some bitcoin, we learn how to secure access to those coins using a bitcoin wallet,
And it is here that we learn about public key cryptography.

Toward the end of the course, we will learn how to trace bitcoin transactions using publicly available tools.
