<p>This is a broad introduction to Bitcoin from a technical perspective. We do not talk about finance or economics, and we don’t compare distributed ledger technologies. We’re not addressing exchanges, layer 2 technologies, mainstream adoption, etc.</p>
<p>We’re also going to avoid going deep into forks, fungibility, mining or the math of Bitcoin.</p>
<p>In this episode we introduce these fundamental Bitcoin topics:</p>
<ul>
<li>What is Bitcoin?</li>
<li>Blockchains and blocks</li>
<li>What are transactions?</li>
<li>What are miners and what do they do?</li>
<li>Proof of Work in Bitcoin - SHA256 hashing</li>
<li>Bitcoin consensus mechanism</li>
<li>How do wallets work?</li>
<li>Brief discussion about various types of wallets and wallet security</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope this is accessible and informative and look forward to doing more in the future.</p>
