Too Long; Didn't Read
Bitcoin is a decentralized form of digital currency based on a system of trust underpinned by cryptographic puzzles such as various properties of Elliptic curves. Without delving too much into the mathematical aspect of it, let’s see how the Bitcoin trust system is built. To properly grasp the key ideas in this post, profound knowledge of cryptography is not needed. But, it is expected that you have the basic understanding of a private and public key.
