Bitcoin Network is an innovative peer-to-peer payment system introduced as an alternative to the fiat banking system with the main principle of decentralizing all processes. One of the ideas that the creators of the Bitcoin network tried to achieve was the elimination of intermediaries and more transparent conditions for mutual settlements between users. The Bitcoin network was first introduced in 2009 and received dynamic development, on the basis of which other networks were eventually created, thereby expanding the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin Network - Basic Principles

To understand how it works, it is enough to delve deeper into the nuances of the structure and operating principle of the Bitcoin Network. It is based on open-source code. That is, each participant in the system has access to information, the volume of which gradually accumulates and increases every day. Unlike the banking system, there is no provision for hiding important information from users; everything happens as transparently as possible. This ensures the self-sufficiency of the Bitcoin network, unlike fiat financial systems.

Technically, the basis of the Bitcoin network is made up of nodes - these are particular nodes connected into a single chain of PCs on which software is preinstalled. Each node stores and regularly updates copies of data from the BTC blockchains, which relate to:

• algorithm changes;
• making improvements;
• transaction confirmations;
• formation of new blocks using Proof-of-Work protocols.

That is, the blockchain chain stores the entire volume of information from the moment the Bitcoin network was founded, since when each new block is formed, the hash of the previous one is integrated into it.

The main advantages of the Bitcoin Network

The cryptocurrency market began precisely with the development of the Bitcoin network. The rapid and dynamic processes of dissemination and popularization of BTC are due to the following advantages:

• high level of confidentiality of data of each participant in the system;
• anonymity of transactions without centralized control by government authorities in different countries;
• low commissions due to the elimination of intermediaries;
• high reliability of each transaction, subject to the user's compliance with security measures when storing his personal payment data.

It is also worth noting that the value of digital coins created on the Bitcoin network is determined solely based on commercial supply and demand, which defines the high volatility of the crypt. Thanks to this, fundamentally new opportunities and prospects have opened up for more profitable settlements between partners and clients and for making a profit from trading on currency pairs.
