If you see comments here about investing or brokers, they are scams. Videos about cryptocurrencies, evidently including ones that are just about the underlying technology/math, are hotbeds for attracting nefarious actors preying on the impressionable. Also, hi! If you’re new to this channel, most of it is about visualizing math. I get it, you probably landed here searching for how BTC works, not to spend your afternoon getting pulled into learning about, say, prime numbers or problem-solving, but if you have a moment take a look at the rest of the channel, you may enjoy what you find.
Mrs Jane is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
This was the best video I ever saw on Bitcoin, it was so enjoyable I wish there were more like it. Finally, someone answered all the questions that arose in my mind about the private keys and other issues. This was an outstanding video. I'm overjoyed to finally learn more of the nitty-gritty of how it works.

Mrs kathy is legit and her method works like magic I keep earning every single week with her new strategy
Expert Mrs Kathy is the only I can recommend to you dear I've been scammed so many times
When I saw testimonies all over the place I thought it was all made up stories till I was convinced and gave it a try and honestly I don't regret the move I made because I invested in a big way and I got a large amount of profits....
I came across Mrs kathy in a conference meeting at Washington DC after giving her speech I was opportune to meet her and start investing
A friend that I referred to her just received €7,050 profit after 10 days of investing I..... became jealous.. Lol
I doubted her before I gave it a try and it was of no regrets

Bitcoin was created by the NSA. It is the onramp to Digital currency. The main idea is to make Crypto so unmanaged by Governments and people that they will have to start implementing regulations to it. That's the role of it. The Digital dollar will replace it in 2022. The US Government bought 200 million bitcoin from 2010- 2012 for $10 each. While owing The American people 3 Trillion they borrowed from Social Security that was due for payment in 2013. What did Obama do to repay our Social Security? he raised the SS tax 2% and didn't pay anything. Since they have 100 million in Bitcoin that is at $50,000 now, so that's about 5 Trillion dollars the Government of the USA has made off of our money. So where is it? This is one of the main reasons the USA wants as many foreigners to come work in the USA and pay into Social Security but are never eligible to receive it. Just as Bush W did to restore SS. If you think no-one has control over Bitcoin, you are deceived.

Guess I won't be getting into bitcoin. Banking is much simpler to get into and explain ... and is as crooked as the US government. This video (if nothing else) clearly indicates a level of complexity that is far and away too intricate to not be hackable. Requiring a PhD to understand should be signal enough to stay away.

As it is said at 1:46, you don't really have to know that much in order to simply use it, just like you don't need to know how the mechanical engineering of a car works in order to drive it or know how TCP/IP works in order to use the internet. This video explains how it works internally, which is complex, but using it is much simpler.

You mean the system cant be defeated? What if the block chain fraud is executed like US 2020 elections? What if millions of people spread all over secretly join hands to fraud others? What if some AI bot does something nasty? Nothing can replace TRUST. Ultimately you need to be able to trust "that" with which you are interacting for exchange/transactions.. for a fair trade.

I was able to build a big income stream during the covid-19 pandemic investing with a professional broker, Mr Thomas Anderson
@Khalifa Genesis You invest with Mr Thomas too? Wow, that man has been a blessing to me and my family.
@Samfia Jon I'm new at this please how can I reach your broker?
@Mary Sammy I normally don’t do this, but coming across Mr Thomas in this channel, I just have to say something. He is indeed a tutor, he guided me even when I was being naive to the basics of trading. Thanks to him today I have made reasonable amount of crypto stacked up and a good trading capital.
@Sammy Trump Mr Thomas changed my life because of the high profits I got from investing with him.
I'm surprised you know him too, I've been making lots of profit investing with him a few months now.

(CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG) I think I learned something new with that output thing, u can raise how ever many of the numbers available by the amount of positions that number can be in place in -> in order to find out how many different numbers there could potentially be. For instance if there is a 16 number sequence, and in each individual number in the sequence (so there’s 16) it is either 3, 5, 8, or 9 at random. You can say 4^16, which would give me how many potential answers I could have in this sequence. Right? (Btw I rlly should do my math hw and study for my psychology test tomorrow)
great work sir.......explained simply
Yeah I'll stick to cash
This looks like a great design to ensure the integrity of the system but the drawback is that it’s very resource intensive.
Here is a simple cryptocurrency... any video game coin or gem or whatever
isn’t it a lot of data for everyone to hold on to. Surely having a log of EVERY transaction is a lot
@Sagar Nath The ethereum blockchain is around 60KB each, and with all 11.5 million blocks right now you have 690GB of total transactions (not to mention the time it takes as a full node to verify one). In order to spam block rewards you need more hash power than EVERYONE else combined (called a 51% attack), which is very unlikely and has only happened once so far.
@Sagar Nath i might be wrong, but i think a single user can’t do that because they don’t have enough computing power to outrun all the other miners combined
Same doubt. Also isn't it possible for someone to use a lot of computation inorder to add a huge amount of bitcoin to their account in one transaction?

The significant difficulties financial backers face may go from controlling lack of caution to the slight of impulse. Most novices and would-be financial backers frequently sabotage and regularly disregard the significance of specialized investigation concerning exchanging. Specialized investigation excessively predicts the development of resource costs paying little mind to what's going on in the more extensive or more extensive market. Basically, the interaction includes contemplating the ways of a specific resource development before to build up a maintainable example that can be utilized to anticipate future developments. I would urge financial backers out there to exchange with the little they have or duplicate exchange alarms from an expert merchant. I have been utilizing Ryan Robert exchanging Signals and Strategy Designer since the last bear market, expanding my portfolio day by day. With his system/signals, I have had the option to develop my portfolio to 14 btc with my underlying 0.9 btc. A few group may need to Rea ch out to him to likewise become their Crypt0 . tel_le-gram@Withryan. through WhAtSaPp+1 (204) 410 1947
Spot on! trading with Ryan strategy is nothing new to me on this space. I've been his student since late 2020 and He's been a great mentor to me! All th@nks to h!m
Honestly the right information is wI believe the benefits of a successful trade comes from an expert That we need to succeed.
I was introduced to bitcoin by my uncle as a newbie she suggested the best way for me to learn and earn is through Ryan and when reach her to her she didn’t disappoint

Nice and informative video... Well i will also say this here, Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is still pushing higher in a bullish pattern and the leading asset still had more future which a lot of top analyst suggested that it will break the 50,000 resistance zone against the US dollars. Nevertheless it is not wise to keep holding at this point in time, it is best we keep trading by getting involve in day trading and grow the little asset we hold or buy to accumulate more ahead of the bullish predictions. Bitcoin trading has been favourable and profitable because i employed the right strategy/daily signals provided by a Expert trader known as RamAsalya,he is not just a pro but also life savings when it come to bitcoin trading signals and so far have gained so much under his umbrella. În just 5 weeks of activeły trading with his daily signals, i was able to accumulate and grow my portfolio from 1.1btc to a total of 5.89btc which you will agree is a nice one. He can be reached on T elegram (@RamiAsalyaExpert) for his assistance. Lets be positive and remain winnin
@Robb Holding After trading with Rami’s strategy my eyes are now open i have more knowledge and better understanding about crypto and bitcoin Trading and the whole business

Positive remarks is all I have read and heard about this Rami for a whle now.would love to seek his assitance soon when i'm ready

Neat!. Subscribed.
Really well done, thank you

Wow all you fake guys here
I tried trading without a professional like alana Blair is like gambling with your money
Lost €1200 carelessy trading on a platform then I was referred to Alana Blair she recoverd the loss and made an extra profit of €4600

if one block is limited to 2400 transactions, and one new block is added every 10 minutes, what happens if there are more than 2400 transactions waiting to be added to the chain? if popularity of bitcoin trading increases, doesnt the number of transactions get much bigger than 2400 every ten minutes? will the system keep up with the number of transactions? am i missing something?
the limit is there to prevent spam, can be raised at an increased storage cost for the nodes. Your question is the most interesting. many altcoins propose solutions to this, that if proven secure, can be adopted by btc in the future.
@plasticman2011 interesting... thanks for the explanation
Transactions wait in the mempool and can increase fees to get included into a block sooner. Ultimately there is a fee market where low fee transactions get priced out, but they can use a second layer protocol like lightning network to make transactions.
Great video @3Blue1Brown but there is still a level of metaphor that is annoying me and preventing me from understanding. You talk about individual users sending/receiving updated blockchain transactions. Ok, but where is that then stored? Locally? I get the "longest" blockchain transmitted to me via what? Where is it stored? Is that all dependent on some specific application? Does this whole system imply that it would completely cease to function if all the miners and users simply deleted their records and never updated again?
All network full nodes store the full blockchain on their own computers - stored locally and across the network, but you can run a light client where you only track the transactions you are interested in. All transaction data including blocks are relayed on a peer to peer network. Yes, all data getting deleted would cause the network to stop working, but I'm not sure why people interested in their bitcoin wealth would choose to shoot themselves in the foot like that. It isn't that much data anyway, the blockchain can only grow about 100 gigabytes per year. About half a terrabyte so far in total.
Also, if the ledger is the sum of ALL previous transactions, how the heck is it feasible to sustain that going forward? A ledger would be ridiculously huge at some point and you are saying that that is also being transmitted among nodes constantly?!
Why are the subtitles different than the spoken words? That's so extremely infuriating..

Seriously. This is the best (most comprehensible) video about proof of work on the net.
i would like to understand the mentality of people who are disliking his videos.....more than the terrorists
But from where does the true value of bitcoin originate? Is it purely intrinsic or a function of external factors like how much time and energy (bill) went into the mining of whether Tesla is investing?
How does this system change with quantum computing??
FACTS ABOUT BITCOIN: It has NO service or product, NO income or asset backing and NO regulation protection. The SOLE OBJECTIVE is to attract evermore new cash from greater fools to drive the price higher so that the earlier punters can cash out with huge profits. Simple, blatant objective. CRIME: and yes, Bitcon is perfect to evade sanctions and taxes, drug payments, terrorism, ransoms and other illegal activities.
@Scott Mackie if that's true, who do you think is the charles ponzi or madoff of bitcoin? I'll answer it the question for you - bitcoin is a completely open and decentralized system so there is no madoff or charles ponzi orchestrating such a scheme. It's not a ponzi. Now the US dollar on the other hand...
@plasticman2011 crypto / Bitcoin is a blatant PONZI scheme.
That's a lot of words to just say "store of value", one of the key features of money.
Well, I'm not sure if I understand this but it explains a part of the equation, the mining part. But since that depends on speed and computational abilities, that raises questions about who owns better hardware that may not be available to everybody else, who invented the hash functions and simultaneously what if the owners have an agreement to reject or override other's blocks of transactions at will, like if the work has already been meditated since years but not been introduced to the chain yet. Then there's the value that's based on demand and the pubic agreement that a digital asset that serves little or no purpose has a value. To me the whole thing still sounds like a big gamble especially for someone who buys the currency rather than mines it. Thanks for the video 👍
@Omar Alkhatib if you want to understand it, consider reading "The Bitcoin Standard" by the economist Dr. Saifedean Ammous
Then I guess I dont understand it. Thanks.

Hello mate, I glanced through your page and I have a business proposal for you. Dm let me give you an insight
I was following pretty well until the block creation process. If blocks are chained to other blocks then how can someone just grab a bunch of transactions and build a block? Doesn't the new block need to be chained to prior blocks? If everyone is building blocks at the same time, which block is the last one to chain to? Wouldn't everyone be building different sized blocks of an arbitrary collection of transactions? What makes one chain longer than another if it is only one giant long chain? If chains are not connected to each other (how would that happen?) then couldn't chains contain different collections of blocks? If so, how would I know whether my transaction was included in a block or not? It just seems like a gigantic mess! There must be something missing in Grant's explanation.
Great video! Thanks for putting in all the effort!
good job buddy, like & subscribe as well
What happens if a large portion of miners collude to create a fraudulent block? Would they have to keep it up? would everyone continue to build on top of the fraudulent block?
The fraudulent block is rejecting by the peers who received it, if it is invalid that act as if they didn't receive anything and can even disconnect the miner from their network of neighboors if the miner spams fraudulent blocks. No one else will ever know about the fraudulent block.
I wonder how many scammers will reply to this comment.

Here we go: when he starts talking about digital signatures he says “ anyone can get into the ledger and make entries” but then he uses one of the four in his example. So does he mean that anyone within the magic circle can access the ledger or can anyone in the world access it ?
You can maintain the ledger without having bitcoins. The 4 lines which create Ledger Dollars are just for the example between friends. In Bitcoin, you can get tokens if you mine or buy them from someone else.
