Transactions News

transactions

In Bitcoin, a transaction is a transfer of Bitcoin value between two public addresses in the network. These addresses may either belong to different people or one person. The movement of value may or may not be accompanied by the movement of any other asset in the opposite direction. All transactions are broadcast to the network and registered on a public ledger (the Blockchain), which means that every single bitcoin's movement through the network, since the moment of that bitcoin's creation, is carefully accounted for and can be verified by any user.
