Launched in 2009, the Bitcoin blockchain is a decentralized and immutable ledger that underpins the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. It records all transactions chronologically, secured through cryptographic principles, decentralized consensus mechanisms, and economic incentives. This enables trustless peer-to-peer transactions, facilitating global value transfers without intermediaries.
